Among so many other despicable characteristics, Biden is antisemite.

The White House doesn’t want any riff raff around. Hunter says they spoil the mood of the place and make it less classy.

I’d feel like I’d need serious decontamination if I was in the White House with the current administration.

And they don't leave any baggies of coke or parmesan cheese around for Hunter...

Just because their family member is hostage is no reason or right to expect a White House invite.

The 911 families were kept at arm’s length for years because the US wanted to keep good relations with the Saudis. Biden could use an invite as a signal that he favors Israel in the current war, but that would antagonize the leftoids in his party.

They don’t want uncompfortable questions thrown at Biden.

So who is invited? Some anti-Israel Leftist secular Jews?

Well, if it was your son or daughter….an invitation to the WH for a Jewish celebration just MIGHT show the terrorists that the POTUS knows the names and faces of the missing and their families

And you might hold a little bit of hope it would influence their release

Which is why no invite is a blessing in disguise. I’d refuse to go to anything being hosted by Brandon.
