We previously reported on a hilariously bad X post by Democrat Rep. Summer Lee (PA-12) as she tried to hit back at her fellow Democrat Rep. Josh Gottheimer (NJ-12) for criticizing socialists in the Democratic Party. Gottheimer said there was no room for "bomb throwers" in the party.
I’m glad to see other Democrats reiterating what I’ve been saying all along: the DSA are not Democrats. They’re socialists, who want to hijack the Democratic Party.

The Democrats have a big tent. That’s our strength. We embrace a range of ideas — but there’s no room for anti-American bomb-throwers who oppose our ideas, values, & leaders.
Lee then shot back, "What about Dems who sign bombs and vote to drop them?"

Then Community Notes nuked her, noting simply, "Different Josh."
She appeared to be confusing the guy who did sign a bomb in 2024 to be used by Ukraine, Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro, the governor in her own state, with Gottheimer, a fellow Democrat member of Congress from New Jersey.
Gottheimer asked if she knew that was "the other Jewish guy named Josh, right?"
You know that’s the other Jewish guy named Josh, right? https://t.co/dCF0AtT0rY

Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05), another Squad member, jumped in to defend her: “He signed the bombs you voted to be dropped. Hope this helps!” she countered.
Except, as Gottheimer noted, Omar also voted for the Ukraine Security Supplemental bill in April 2024. Community Notes nailed her as well.
Ilhan, you know who else voted for it? You. https://t.co/IjIQW4TNwF https://t.co/OwiNHHcXdz pic.twitter.com/m8E8N4g8RD

None of this had anything to do with the radical leftist lawmakers' obsession with Gaza and Israel.

That's where we left you in the saga. Lee should have stopped talking. But instead she kept digging.
Gottheimer posted this on Tuesday about the exchange.
Before you attack someone over a vote, make sure you've got the right guy — and make sure you didn't cast the same vote yourself!

I proudly voted to help Ukraine defend itself against Putin, and I'd do it again tomorrow.https://t.co/5LyDgeFR3c
Lee replied.
That isn’t me, Josh. That’s the OTHER Black congresswoman.

But you know that, right? Just like I know who my own governor is.
Point is, the party should be big enough for who you consider “bomb throwers.” Apparently you can love war but not healthcare or working-class policies. https://t.co/IioNaRmRLd

Once again, Lee got nailed by Community Notes: "Summer Lee voted for these bombs as well."
Ouch. She tries to slam Gottheimer, but doesn't know she also voted for it? Yikes. So does that mean she "loves war" too?
If she "knows" her governor, why is she talking about him when she's talking to Josh Gottheimer?
Someone should have advised her to stop digging already.
