On Wednesday’s “CNN Newsroom,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) broke with calls from other Democrats for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas and stated that his version of a cease-fire is “Hamas ought to stop, and if Hamas stops, the Israelis will stop.” And that Israel has “a moral duty to protect their citizens.”
Hoyer said that he wants the fighting to stop, but “Hamas does not respond to requests, and they initiated rockets. They’ve been doing rockets on a regular basis, and it would be irrational not to think that the Israelis are not going to respond to protect themselves and their people. However, the president wants — and I think he’s talked to Netanyahu — wants the fighting to come to a close and try to see if we can negotiate. But frankly, terrorists are very difficult to negotiate with, and a terrorist organization like Hamas that does not want Israel to exist has no reason to negotiate.”

Steny Hoyer is a real man. He is speaking out against what Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, and the like are trying to do to Israel. Finally, a democrat with the guts to do what is right stands up to the rest. He kinda seems like a DINO!
Oh noes! He’ll anger the Clod Squad!
Steny’s gonna be getting a visit from Tony and Richie.
I used to live in Hoyer’s district for 30+ years. When he was first elected he was a *conservative* (really, he was !) or at least voted that way. Over time as the Democrat Party morphed into the Communist Party he moved far left. This must be a faint memory from the distant past erupting into his feeble brain.
Oddly enough, he is one of the few prominent Democrats about whom there has never been a whiff of personal scandal to my knowledge. Oh, we disagree on 100 out of 100 issues, but he does not appear to be personally corrupt. Like Joe Machin he is also untethered to any fixed beliefs and is infinitely malleable.
Hoyer is a 99% solid Democrapt. His only failing, from the current Democrapt-Socialists view, is that he supports Israel and knows that Hamas wants to eradicate Israeli and Israelis from the earth. During the 30 years I lived in Maryland I either lived in his district or didn’t depending how the state Dems re-drew district lines after a census.
A DINO??? What are you smoking?
This cat is as lib as any of em. He wants Jewish folks to continue to give$$$$, or he bumped his head on something but NO WAY is he a DINO!
Steny says he became interested in politics when he heard JFK speak. His generation are on the way out. The Squad, ANTIFA, BLM and Jew haters are on the way in.
Steny the old Southern Maryland Inbred sees the writing on the wall.
The American people don’t like what’s going on and the democrats will need more election rigging to protect their slim majority.
Steny is the ultimate opportunist. His focus is on how much money he can steal and hating Israel for a bunch of terrorist is going to gum up his racket.
I bet Hoyer voted against the Hamas sanctions bill today.
