Update: No Democrat Presidential Candidates Have Accepted AIPAC's Invitation to Speak Before Them Yet

Complete boycott. AIPAC meets next week.

No Democratic candidate for president has yet agreed to attend the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's annual Policy Conference next week.

According to Politico, Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) confirmed through an aide Thursday that she will not be attending.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D., Tex.), and Howard Schultz will reportedly do the same.

...

Harris has previously spoken in warm terms at AIPAC's Policy Conference, calling it "an honor" to speak there in 2017. Other declared presidential hopefuls, such as Sens. Cory Booker (D., N.J.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.), and Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.), have made similar remarks.

Because this is an update and you probably don't have much more to say about it, I will note that the Fiercely Heterosexual Senator from New Jersey, Cory Booker, is now calling for "Radical Love."

Before he accused Republican policies of causing people to die, Booker promised his presidential campaign would offer the country "radical love."

"People want to say love is a soft, namby, sort of like, 'Oh, kumbaya' sentiment," he said. "I think it's the most ferocious, tough, hard, force there is."

Buried lead: the Fiercely Heterosexual Cory Booker wants Radical Love, and wants it with ferocious, tough, hard force.
