On Thursday, Trump tweeted that it would be a sign of "great weakness" if Israel allowed the two congresswomen, who have been outspoken critics of Trump, to enter the country. Later that day, Israel officially blocked their entrance.

"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," Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement.

Most Republicans in the Senate and House stayed quiet on the issue, ceding the argument to Trump and the right-wing government of Israel, currently headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

But instead of standing with their fellow members of Congress who are elected to represent the United States, several Republicans made their preference for the foreign government's position clear.

"Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) also defended Israel's decision by also accusing the two congresswomen of "vile anti-Semitism." She provided no evidence for her claim."

See, there is "no evidence" of anti-semitism according to this leftist media cretin.

I guess that settles it.

I do not vote for my Congressman or Senator to stand for anyone but the people who elected him/her. People need to understand this. They work for us, not some damn party or party leader.

As I recall, True Blood was a neo-Nazi site. Have they changed to a “red site, as in communist”?

I’m thankful that we have a Republican in the WH who can run circles around these people and their propaganda machine, and tie them up and brand them, too. Can’t ever “question their patriotism,” because they’re ready for that. What can be done, however, is hoist them on their own petar, and that is happening, and they are going nuts.

Not news, anyone who supports Israel is disloyal, as are Jews. The rest of the Republicans are simply racists.

There are likely other “powerful” Republicans who agree, but their fear of the Democrat/Left is clearly greater than their support of Israel as a free nation.

She provided no evidence for her claim.

Quote from your local paper?

They themselves daily furnish plenty of evidence, it would require a lengthy tome to document all of it.

As to “evidence for claims,” what evidence is there that Trump is a ‘white supremacist,’ along with every deplorable in the world, and anyone who doesn’t want a statue of a Confederate general torn down?

What? Because Spike Lee deliberately put “America First” and other catch phrases into the script of Black Klansman? So that proves Spike Lee is a venal, lying turd.

Can you please explain the point you are trying to make?
