Casten (D-IL-6) 11/06/2022: Retweet of @USJewishDems – ““Republican candidates up and down the ballot are cavorting with open white supremacists” and “using Corbyn-style tactics to justify or excuse their antisemitic antics.” @GOP antisemitism is on the ballot.

Inhofe (R-OK) 11/07/2022: Tweet – “Iran's regime has long targeted Americans, Israelis and Arabs for murder. Sadly, @USEnvoyIran @Rob_Malley spent two years ignoring Iran's terrorism while offering the regime billions to return to a failed nuke agreement. Why is he only recognizing Iran's terrorism now? Link to quoted tweetIran denies it, but the evidence is in plain sight: the UAVs they sold to Russia are being used against Ukrainian civilians. Iran's leadership may have thought they could get away with helping Russia's brutal aggression in secret. They could not. (Link to twitter.com)”
Torres (D-NY-15) 11/06/2022: In reply to TweetIt's notable that every socialist elected in NY are doing rallies, visibility, and GOTV to ensure Lee Zeldin and other right wingers don't gain seats in New York, while Richie is apparently on vacation. (Link to twitter.com) – “@smfox Here you are, making an assumption without fact-checking. I am actually here in NYC but the facts do not remotely matter to bad-faith critics like yourself. Link to reply@RitchieTorres An assumption? I'm… reading exactly what you're posting publicly on your twitter. @smfox Yes an assumption. Did it ever occur to you that the photo predated the timing of the post? Link to reply@RitchieTorres You have multiple posts taking about being places in Israel in the present tense. Sure seems like you've been telling us that you've been away during crunch time. Do you mean to say that I should not assume what you post publicly is accurate? @smfox How about asking instead of assuming? I'd be delighted to answer. As for the midterms, I have campaigned for Congressional Dems across the country and have raised over a million dollars to Congressional Dems—which is probably way more than anything you've ever done.”
