In the clip, Welch warned the Democratic establishment to align with far-left radicals or risk being targeted. “So listen up, Democratic establishment. You can either jump on board with this sh-t, or we’re coming after you the same way we come after MAGA. Period,” she said.
She also issued pointed instructions about party finances and influence groups: “Stop taking AIPAC money, go on an ‘I’m sorry I took AIPAC money atonement’ tour if you want to stay in power. Stop missing out on these big rallies.”
Her comments appeared to reference tensions within progressive circles over support for Israel and lobbying groups such as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
