The congresswoman who lost the Democratic primary to Abdul El-Sayed is defending her decision to switch her to endorsement to Republican Mike Rogers in the leadup to Tuesday’s election.
Stevens posted Wednesday on X that she didn’t regret the change but that she originally endorsed El-Sayed. She pointed to her strong support for U.S. ally Israel.
The whole “Friends of Foreign Nation” thing for members of Parliament in the UK and their equivalent in the US always looked to me like Treason - I mean, you’re elected to a position of power to represent the people of your country and then you go and in the legislative institutions of you country you’re defending the interests of a different country, openly so even.
I’m only aware of one foreign nation that appears in those organisation names.
No “Friends of Montenegro” that I’m aware of.
