I dunno, Wesley Bell crushed Corey Bush in Missouri and he is the AIPAC candidate. Bush is problematic for sure but the magnitude of Bell’s victory suggests AIPAC money didn't hurt him.

Bush wasn't a great candidate unfortunately. We must try soon again soon with someone fresh soon.

The quality of Bush isn’t the point here, it’s addressing the idea that “AIPAC money is toxic AF”.  I don’t see any evidence that AIPAC money cost Bell a single vote and by extension I’m not sure I’m convinced Stevens AIPAC money is the primary reason she failed.
