Actor and former Obama staffer Kal Penn (Kumar of Harold and Kumar fame) ripped into Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for his support for the state of Israel.
Standing before this week’s American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Schumer not only came out in strong defense of Israel but spoke the truth about Arabs not wanting peace with the Jewish state:
Now, let me tell you why – my view – why we don’t have peace, because the fact of the matter is that too many Palestinians and too many Arabs do not want any Jewish state in the Middle East. The view of Palestinians is simple: the Europeans treated the Jews badly culminating in the Holocaust, and they gave them our land as compensation.
Of course, we say it’s our land. The Torah says it, but they don’t believe in the Torah. So that’s the reason there is not peace. They invent other reasons, but they do not believe in a Jewish state, and that is why we, in America, must stand strong with Israel through thick and thin. We must because that is the reason, not any of these other false shibboleths, why there is not peace in the Middle East.
Penn was so outraged, using his verified Twitter account, he said he was “Looking forward to the day [Schumer’s] out of office.”

Boycotting Hollywood does a body good.
Well let’s see...
Kal Penn, a gay 3rd worlder who hates Israel.
Guess that explains why he was Obama’s kinda guy
Since when does Chuck Schumer pay any attention to what the Torah says?
Broken clock....twice a day.
I have never heard of this Kal Penn character.
Blind squirrel occasionally finding a nut.
Guess that explains why he was Obama’s kinda guy.
Well, I think was really more partial to Reggie, but would accept from Barack as well.
I’m all for free speech. However, I’ve never herd this clown’s “words of wisdom” before and with a name that sounds just like “Cowpen”, and a mind to match, I hope I never hear from him again.
Can I milk this for all its worth or is he worth the effort?
Yet, regarding Chuckie the Hate-Filled Putz senator, if you support him and stand behind him, the view is always the same, namely the same view as a herd of cows sees when looking at their leader’s ass. My God, that sounds just like Schumer.
What a coincidence. Two Democrat aholes in one story with the more extreme one attacking the slightly less “more extreme” one.
Isn’t America great? If not, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Who?
He’s an actor who plays the WH press secretary on the TV show Designated Communist thus he thinks he’s a “player.”
Kalpen Suresh Modi (born April 23, 1977) is an American actor, comedian, producer, and former civil servant best known by his stage name Kal Penn.
In April 2009, Penn joined the Obama administration as an Associate Director in the White House Office of Public Engagement.
Penn says that he derived his acting name, Kal Penn, as a lark: “Almost as a joke to prove friends wrong, and half as an attempt to see if what I was told would work (that anglicized names appeal more to a white-dominated industry), I put ‘Kal Penn’ on my resume and photos.” His audition callbacks rose by 50 percent.
Political activities
Penn was an advocate for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign in 2007 and 2008 and a member of Obama’s National Arts Policy Committee. He appeared with comedian George Lopez on January 18, 2009, at “We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial”.
In early 2009, Penn was offered the position of Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement in the Obama administration, which he accepted.
Penn was a co-chair for the re-election campaign of President Barack Obama. On September 3, 2012, he hosted the September 6 coverage of the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. Penn’s speech at the convention encouraged young people to register to vote and defended Obama’s record.]
On November 18, 2013, President Obama appointed Penn to serve on the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities. On February 28, 2014, Penn served as the Master of Ceremonies for the White House Student Film Festival.
Penn publicly supported Bernie Sanders for the 2016 Democratic nomination.
In August 2017, Penn and the other members of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities resigned in response to President Donald Trump’s remarks on the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
On January 2, 2017, Penn won the “MasterChef Celebrity Showdown” and donated the entire $25,000 cash prize to Palestinian Refugees.
On January 28, 2017, following a racist comment from a user on Penn’s Instagram, Penn crowd-funded a fundraiser for Syrian refugees and raised $517,646 in less than 24 hours. This occurred during President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 13769 which banned immigration to the United States from Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Libya, and Somalia regardless of visa status.[45]
Former Obama Staffer, huh? Is that what the boys are calling it these days.
On January 2, 2017, Penn won the “MasterChef Celebrity Showdown” and donated the entire $25,000 cash prize to Palestinian Refugees.
They say he worked on 0bama’s staff even before he had a job at the WH!
No relation to Cal Poly
He says this only because there are a lot of Jewish voters in New York.
Kal Penn is, shall we say, Obama’s type. Southeastern Asian origin, American actor who loves men. Obama apparently ordered him right off the tv like a pizza. Boom. The actor was summoned to the White House where he was given an honorary job in the West Wing with the Preezy, something like Special Presidential Liaison to Hollywood. Once the few months long Liaison had run its inevitable course, Mr. Penn was “mugged” on the streets of DC. And had his cell phone taken, nothing else. Almost as if maybe he may have had photos or texts that might have been unseemly.
Blind squirrel, stopped clock.....
Schumer gets something right occasionally.
Always “interesting” to watch vile Leftards hate on Israel.
I got the joke even though nobody else did!
