Progressives face backlash over response to Israel attacks

Progressives are facing backlash over their initial responses to the attacks on Israel by Hamas militants, revealing the degree to which they’re at odds with others in the Democratic caucus over the issue.

Members of the Squad such as Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Cori Bush (D-Mo.) took heat from fellow Democrats this week over statements criticized for being too tepid in the wake of the violent attacks against Israeli civilians.

Meanwhile, after mounting pressure, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) condemned the “bigotry and callousness” at a pro-Palestinian rally aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in New York City.

They are only mad because their masks were ripped off, make no mistake, Dems are in full support of Hamas beheading babies and raping girls then brutally murdering them.

This is the real democrat party. They have openly rejected God numerous times in the public forum, this is what they truly desire.

Queen Rashida of the Swamp of Corruption needs her ass deported. She should be no where near Capitol Hill. She flies the same flag the Hamass terrorists fly.

Because nothing says “progress” like murdering people that danced at a Peace Festival.

AOC is just in election preservation mode.

Being a NYC pol. She can’t afford to appear anti-semetic in public.

It took three days for Biden to speak in public about the Hamas attack. That’s how long it took for the Democrats to run focus groups to determine which side to support.

Jordan would be an improvement - but not much.

Sorry to say but Jim Jordan is turning into Trey Gowdy, II.

Same for Tucker Carlson.

Tucker still has not:

Condemned Hamas.

Condemned Iran.

Issued a statement of 100% support for Israel.

Unfortunately, probably correct. The voters in their districts approve of what their representatives in Congress are saying and doing. Just illustrates the deep divide in this country that will not be resolved peacefully.

Exactly.

To elaborate:

Garbage. They are in complete alignment. The "mainstream" Demscum are just better at hiding it.

Nothing “progressive” about them, just the same old Marxist-Leninists from last century.

This is the real democrat party. They have openly rejected God numerous times in the public forum, this is what they truly desire.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They prove it time after time by advocating baby in the womb murder, some even after the baby is born.

They prove it by pushing all kinds of sexual perversions, queer marriage and basically anything that’s anti Christian.

Yet many of them profess to be Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Pentecostal etc., all Christian faiths..

Matthew 7 KJV:

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

“Just illustrates the deep divide in this country that will not be resolved peacefully.”

It’s been said by many here, and I agree, we can’t peacefully coexist with progressives.
