. @AIPAC donations overwhelmingly favored the Democratic Party in 2016 ($22k/4.5k) & 2018 ($22k/13.8k). They donate very little by comparison.

In 2016, @PPFA (Planned Parenthood) donated $4M & spent $15M. In 2018, it was $7M & $8M, respectively.

And here are lobbying expenditures for AIPAC, which scares everyone to death, apparently.

Again, let's keep this in perspective. It's about $3.5M on K Street for 2018. But save from donating to Dems overwhelmingly, they have no outside spending.

Compare that to Planned Parenthood, which spent about 1.2M in 2018 on K Street, but $8,144,255 on outside spending. Otherwise known as...

Right. Which one is more concerning to you?
Below is the link for Planned Parenthood if anyone cares about facts. Again, for the last two years, actual contributions from both these groups favored Democrats.

Lastly, think we have a pretty clear case of some just not knowing what the hell they are talking about, but pretending they do on Twitter.

Donations aren't the same as lobbying expenditures.
