Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a New Jersey Democrat, accused his party of applying a double standard on antisemitism by condemning right-wing hate while remaining silent on antisemitic rhetoric from progressive figures like commentator Hasan Piker. Gottheimer wrote in a New York Times essay that some Democrats privately acknowledge concerns about Piker's inflammatory statements but avoid public criticism due to fear of backlash from progressive activists.
Gottheimer is unclear on the concept -- he's a staunch defender of Israel, whose Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is a useful idiot for those who preach antisemitism.

Jared Golden is also heavily donated to by AIPAC and I'm sure completely by coincidence was the lone Democrat to vote against stopping the Iran war, the preferred position of Netanyahu. Both Golden and Gottheimer have some of the highest Israel lobby donations in congress.
That's the "foreign interference in our elections" they're perfectly OK with.
