The conversation was held at Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C. Like we did earlier with our <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2023\/09\/15\/deconstructed-naomi-klein-doppelganger-book\/\">Naomi Klein<\/a> interview, we\u2019re running the conversation here as today\u2019s episode. The event included a brief reading and a wide-ranging conversation that touched on the Squad\u2019s relationship to Democratic leadership, criticism of its willingness to stand up to Democratic Party bosses, and the big-money operation launched by pro-Israel super PACS, organized by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, to oust members of the Squad and purge the party of Democrats who agree with them.
