During Gaza Hostage Crisis, MSNBC Host Says 'Americans Are Being Held Hostage By GOP'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/22/2023 3:17:18 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

At a time when more than 200 hostages (including Americans) are being held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza, it's certainly not a good time for "hostage" metaphors in Washington politics.

But MSNBC weekend host Katie Phang just had to go there on Saturday in describing the ongoing House Republican struggle to elect a Speaker after a Matt Gaetz-led faction removed Kevin McCarthy.

In an interview with Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.), Phang said:

You know, we talk about getting to 217 and the chances of maybe more centrist voices from the Republican party joining the Democrats. Actually get something done. Because Americans are being held hostage by the GOP right now."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Boy Howdy, just thinking about waking up next to either of those two would make a man seriously consider celibacy.

Well, remember the Woke saying that "reality (i.e., truth) is what you want it to be."

Eventually, the Left will blame the Hamas attack on Trump. For example, "If Trump hadn't moved the capital of Israel to Jerusalem, this attack would have never happened."

Katie Phang

Would her nickname be Phang Phang? Can't wait for Eric Swallwell to make an appearance on her show.

America is “held hostage” by the bankerz....to whom we owe 10’s of trillions of dollars. The bankerz run the UniParty/Derps through their Epstein cutouts.
The various elements of the CIA a control or release Hamas/Hezbollah in Palestine as needed to the ends of the UniParty/Derps.

The UniParty...Mebbe not the Derps tho- faces its own existential crisis as it is losing control of the USA. The Derps/UniParty see war as their only way to avoid a landslide eviction from DC in 2024. The bankerz are looking down on them smiling and shaking their heads “yes, gofer it”

The lady on the right with all that deranged makeup and the strange look on her face (admittedly probably a product of a too-close camera) looks like an animated movie doofus or malevolent Disney character.

The Mc’s appear to have control of the GOP; McConnell, McCarthy, McHenry and McDaniel. Dump them all.

Yeah, 77 million of us will be meeting with our captives in some Alabama woods where we'll all be wearing camouflage while cleaning our cult assault weapons.

And since Hillary's reeducation camps aren't set up yet... the 77 million of us - cult members all - can still listen to banjo music with our captives in the Alabama woods..

You ask are liberals MSNBC bimbos really this stupid? And the answer would be 'yes, why yes they are'.
