MI-13: Justice Democrats backing Thanedar primary challenger
A Michigan state House member has launched a left-wing primary challenge to Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), seeking to oust the two-term House member with the support of the progressive Justice Democrats.
State Rep. Donavan McKinney (D) specifically called out Thanedar in his announcement video on Monday, depicting him as out of touch with his constituents as a multimillionaire while his district is one of the poorest in the country.
“People like our congressman, Shri Thanedar, are the problem,” he said. “A multimillionaire who spent millions to buy a seat in Congress, who has more in common with Donald Trump and Elon Musk than people like us.”
Thanedar has defended himself against scrutiny of how he used his $1.9 million congressional budget.

I have been following the Justice Democrats and its predecessor for a while including the "brand new congress group" and other groups created by Cenk, Kyle Kulinksi, Zack Exley, Saikat Chakrabarti, and their ilk. I am on the Justice Democrat email list and I have even listened once or twice to the Justice Democrat podcast which is amusingly called "Just Us" democrats. The Justice Democrats emails are fun to laugh at and I love the hatred this group shows to the Democratic Party, establishment Democrats and best of all corporate democrats.
The Justice Democrat group want to take over the Democratic party and remake into their image. I also do not want the Democratic Party to be taken over by the Justice Democrat group.
I am not the only person who has issues with the concept that the Justice Democrats want to take over the Democratic Party

Again, the above posts are consistent with the hatred of the Democratic Party that I see on the almost daily emails that I get from the Justice Democrats. I admit that I enjoy the Just Us Democrat whines about AIPAC and Jews being mean.
Lately members of this group have been attacking President Biden and all Jewish Democrats. This group has been attacking Israel for a while and now this group is attacking President Biden
