But the organization in question, New America, does not have a particularly non-partisan track record. In fact, it routinely advocates for Democratic policies. > New America is funded by some of the Democratic Party’s biggest donors and has backed radical policy positions such as the movement to defund police. The Beltway think tank also claims its U.S.-Iran Initiative "helped pave the way for the landmark Iran nuclear agreement." It hosted a book party for an anti-Israel activist who compared Israel to Nazi Germany, and one of its scholars called for a "military coup" to oust former president Donald Trump after his inauguration.
