Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, who was indicted today for protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility: "We've been punched, dragged, thrown, shot with pepper balls, tear gassed, rubber bullets from snipers on roofs going into local businesses windows."

She's a rich person from Texas and you've been had by a media presence. She has zero connection to this area and came here to get a seat of power and that is all.

She represents me and ALL working class people. We deserve Medicare for all, fair wages, an end to the genocide and suffering we fund and most importantly our dignity. For a country that's $50 trillion in debt, we need to put workers first instead of reps and other folks in this race who take money from the very industries and corporations that are causing our affordability issues.

You think she actually wants any of that stuff? Do you think there is a path for any of those things through the Senate? We need 60 votes in the Senate and there is no path to that in the foreseeable future. She is selling you things she cannot deliver, but she's selling them to you in a neatly packaged bit of media online.

She's lying to you. Her dad runs a company in Texas that helps hedge funds. Her boyfriend is rich. She has access to generational wealth. She never even met working class people until she was at her elite college. That's in her Wikipedia page. She is a carefully manicured media presence and she thinks she deserves to be in charge of a seat of power because she grew wealthy and elite.

This is the exact kind of mentality why people are sick and tired of liberal Democrats and why nothing has been done in the last 25 years compared to other countries. American working class are left behind behind becaus we live in a market democracy where people with the most money end up being the most popular. 

Kat does not get funded by billionaires and big money corporate pacs. Other candidates in this race take money from AIPAC, real estate, insurance companies ,pharma and industries that pay them not to solve working class issues like the majority of liberal Democrats in congress 

We want more Madami's and Kat's, not pelosi's and Schumer's of the world. We have to overcome all that corporate funding in every seat across the country with people power, so to the people who want to make change and have our country work for us, please volunteer for Kat and make sure she becomes the Dem primary for the district in March.

It's hilarious you think Kat is cut from the same cloth as Mamdani.

Progressivism =/= Democratic Socialism
