“The Congressional Black Caucus is gone,” a Democratic congressional aide told Newsweek.

The reported alienation felt by Black Democrats has practical significance for Netanyahu since it effectively kills any chance that lawmakers could submit legislation mandating new Iran sanctions that would have enough supporters to override an Obama veto.

Didn’t know there was a bridge there. If there was one it was probably unusable anyway.

Ha. Like the Jews had friends in that “community” anyway. Wasn’t it Al Sharpton, the frequent visitor of Obamugabe, who called for Jewish businesses to be burned to the ground?

There was never going to be a veto-proof majority in the House. When is the last time a Black democrat was voted out of office?

Allen West comes to mind but his own FL legislature gerrymandered him out of office.

Oh, please.

The Congressional Black Caucus has long been a hotbed of virulent Jew-hatred. So, what has changed?

(Hint: Nothing.)

How did Bibi get their undies in a wad? Did he threaten to
steal the American flag on Mars? Go to Guam and tip it over?

Guys, this is the Jerusalem Post - Israel’s equivalent of the New York Times. The reference to the Congressional black caucus having any influence should have been a tipoff that this is leftie propaganda.

I’ve severed all my ties with ethnically Asian legislators in the Nordic states, for reasons I shant discuss.
