First-term Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) is in hot water with the Moderate PAC for her refusal to work with President Joe Biden and her affiliation with the “Squad.” This group, which aims to support moderate lawmakers, is dropping a whopping $150,000 for an ad in the Pittsburgh media market. Why, you ask? Well, buckle up, because it’s a doozy. Ty Strong, the fearless leader of the PAC, is shaking in his boots at the thought of a Republican taking Lee’s seat in November. He’s crying out to anyone who will listen, warning that Pennsylvania is a pivotal state for the Democrats, and Lee’s far-left antics could spell disaster for ol’ Biden.
But wait, there’s more! The ad they’re rolling out features a narrator wagging a finger at Lee and the “Squad” for giving Biden the cold shoulder at the State of the Union address. The audacity! According to the ad, they need a representative who will cozy up to Biden and play nice. And if that’s not enough to send your blood pressure skyrocketing, Lee had the nerve to tweet about dismantling the Democratic Party back in 2021. The nerve of some people!
‘Squad’ Democrat’s decision to freeze out Biden puts her in hot water with super PAC https://t.co/bTdbavtwwa

As if that isn’t enough drama for one article, hang tight, because it gets juicier. The money funding these ads is coming straight from Pittsburgh labor unions and members of the community, who clearly have some strong opinions about Lee’s shenanigans. And let’s not forget, Lee is facing stiff competition from Bhavini Patel in the upcoming primary. Patel has the backing of several mayors in the district, and it’s clear that the pressure is on for Lee to mend some fences.
It’s not just the Moderate PAC on Lee’s case, though. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is pulling out the big guns, planning to drop a giant $100 million bomb to take down progressives who aren’t waving the flag for Israel. They’ve got their sights set on Lee and her “Squad” buddies, and it’s shaping up to be a battle royale. The tensions surrounding the Hamas-Israel war are throwing a wrench into the Democratic Party, and it’s clear that Lee’s refusal to play nice with Biden is only adding fuel to the fire.
As if there weren’t enough flames to fan, the war of words between Patel and Lee is heating up, with Patel throwing shade at Lee for cozying up to Palestinian activists who’ve caught some flak for their less-than-stellar comments about our Jewish friends. It’s a messy situation all around, and it seems like Lee is in for a bumpy ride as she tries to keep her seat in the upcoming primary. Grab the popcorn, folks – this political circus is just getting started!
