J Street released two ads on Tuesday targeting Republican candidates Mariannette Miller-Meeks in Iowa and Ryan Mackenzie in Pennsylvania. These ads show the group at odds with AIPAC for the first time. The spots criticized both members for their positions on health care and their ties to insurance companies during campaigns.
The liberal pro-Israel advocacy group's ads denouncing incumbents in Iowa and Pennsylvania put it at odds with the larger organization for the first time.
The super PAC for J Street, a liberal pro-Israel advocacy group, released two ads on Tuesday targeting a pair of Republican members of Congress who have been endorsed by AIPAC.
The ads are the first time J Street's super PAC has taken on the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in a general election, which has long prided itself on bipartisanship and backed members from both parties. But AIPAC has increasingly become a pariah in some Democratic circles and has faced a backlash after spending millions in Democratic primaries.
One ad criticizes Mariannette Miller-Meeks in Iowa's First Congressional District and the other denounces Ryan Mackenzie in Pennsylvania's Seventh Congressional District for their positions on health care and ties to insurance companies.
