Pelosi sticks up for her 'squad' after their failed Israel stunt
American Thinker ^ | August 17, 2019 | Monica Showalter

You'd think someone as savvy as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would want to distance herself from the failed stunt of two of her squad members, Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. The pair of them were up to no good in their announced trip to Israel. Far from going there for the reasons normal people go, they wanted to hang out with terrorist-sympathizers and promote an anti-Israel boycott-divest-sanction campaign. The political nature of the trip was exposed by their refusal to go on a pro-offered bipartisan trip to the country, their acceptance of a different trip hosted by terrorist-linked sponsors, and creepiest of all, Tlaib's refusal of an invitation by Israel's prime minister for a humanitarian visa to make that one last trip to see her 90-year-old granny who might not be there for her next time, something Tlaib declined. Those detailed proved the whole trip to be nothing but a political stunt, and not surprisingly, Israel wasn't up for letting them do it on their time.

They tried to damage Israel in other words, but failed miserably because Israel was smarter than them.

Wouldn't that be a good reason to pretend you didn't even know these losers? Not for Nancy Pelosi. According to Fox News:

“Israel’s denial of entry to Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar is a sign of weakness, and beneath the dignity of the great state of Israel," Pelosi said in a press release.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was even more oily about the whole thing, throwing in that Israel was the bad guy:

Pelosi and Schumer are just as scatterbrained as the 'squad' radicals.

Yep, Pelousy and Scummer only have the RAT party and the other anti-American globalist elements in our government. Out of desperation, they must pander to the radical low-life element. I certainly hope that 2020 provides real Americans with a whopping victory. It is our only hope.

Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, can sniff the poison gas entering the enclosed room, a large gift of gratitude from their adoring enemies, Jew hating Democrats, AOC-Plus-Three...the Muslim America/Israel haters. Amazing that American Jewish voters vote at all for the murderous Democrat Muslim Party. Yes, Virginia, my dear.....horrible history of slaughter will repeat itself!!! Yes...vote Democrat and sign your own death warrants!!!

Bear in mind that the Democrat party is made up of disparate special interest groups, all disgruntled haters of Christians, conservatives and Trump.

Pelosi and Schumer are echoing the old adage, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". They have calculated that some American Jews agree with the anti-Israel Muslims and the majority of American Jews will vote Democrat no matter what. Hatred of Christians, conservatives and Trump is part of their calculus in appealing to their base.

Stalin murdered more people than the Nazis - tens of millions to the Nazis millions. Nevertheless, the communist monster and despot "Uncle Joe" as FDR called him, was our WW2 ally. When times are tough "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

I'm guessing that the Democrat party is confident that regardless of what it does to Israel, democrat worshiping American Jews will not leave the party of their fathers.

Pelousy is owned by the commie-nazi extreme leftist dnc puppetmeisters like soroznazi. Recalling her doctoring of the eligibility certification paper to enable soroznazi’s little puppet Obama into office. Pelousy is not an independent actor nor does she give a damn about America. Or she would have expelled these Islamic from congress right away. Instead Nancy actually puts one of them on the foreign relations committee what with its highly sensitive accesss to military defense and diplomatic secrets.

About 70 congress folks just went to Israel. The antagonists didn't go.

Israel has its own rules.

And it was indeed a stunt.

Pelosi and Schumer are blowing air....and accomplishing nothing.

Nancy will soon be announcing her retirement. She’s gone off the deep end and she’s lost all control of the party. She’s done. Stick a fork in it.

Squad just doesn’t seem like the right word - maybe a better term would be troupe?

But, even more accurate: Commissars

I’ve no doubt you’re correct.

At the same time I believe that American Jews are fast approaching the time when many will leave the Dem party because of the blatant antisemitism of the infiltration of radical Muslims in that party.

If that day would come, it would be lights-out for the the democrat party!! Unless they are suicidal, democrat leadership will throw their anti-Jew, anti-Israel faction under the bus if it means keeping the Jewish vote, influence and money.

The Democratic Party is forming a circular firing squad on the subject of Israel...and they are carrying grenades!

Fox News Flash top headlines for August 16:

“Real Time” host Bill Maher spent part of Friday’s show slamming the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, calling it a “bulls-— purity test.”

Maher kicked off the show’s panel segment by asking if it was “fair” to boycott, divest, and sanction Israel in wake of the clash between the Israeli government and pro-BDS U.S. Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., over their planned visit to Israel.

But since Maher’s panelists all sidestepped the question, he decided he would “answer it myself.”

“It’s a bulls-— purity test, BDS is a bulls-— purity test by people who want to appear ‘woke’ but actually slept through history class,” Maher said, drawing loud cheers from the audience. “It’s predicated on this notion ... I think it’s very shallow thinking that the Jews in Israel are mostly white and Palestinians are mostly brown, so they must be innocent and correct and the Jews must be wrong. As if the occupation came right out of the blue, that this ‘completely peaceful people’ found themselves occupied. Forget about the intifadas and the suicide bombings and the rockets and how many wars.”

The HBO star quoted BDS movement founder Omar Barghouti, who said, “No Palestinian — rational Palestinian, not a sellout Palestinian — will ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine.”

“So that’s where that comes from, this movement. Someone who doesn’t even want a Jewish state at all,” Maher told the panel. “Somehow this side never gets represented in the American media. It’s very odd.”

Maher then noted how Saudi Arabia doesn’t let Jews into the kingdom and listed statistics of several Middle Eastern countries where the Jewish population had plummeted in recent years.

“And Congresswoman Omar has said things like, ‘It’s all about the Benjamins,’ ‘Israel has hypnotized the world,’ ‘May Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.’ She apologized for it, but it’s out there,” Maher said.

“I see why they don’t get a hero’s welcome,” he added.

In the few years that I have been following politics closely, I NEVER would have thought that Pelosi and Schumer would make such a giant mistake.

It’s hard for those two to remain quiet, but at this time, THAT would be the best political action. NO action at all.

They are committing a giant BooBoo with no forethought.
They’ll have to face the consequences.
