Slotkin: Gaza Pier ‘More Complicated Than We Would Have Liked’, People Don’t Get ‘How Complicated This Is’
Breitbart ^ | 06/19/2024 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 06/19/2024 6:12:04 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) responded to a question on whether the Gaza aid pier constructed by the Biden administration has failed due to numerous setbacks combined with the small amount of aid that has come in by stating that “I don’t think people understand just how complicated this is.” And “it’s just more complicated than we would have liked.”

Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “I want to get, first, to this story we’ve just been reporting, this U.S. pier off the coast of Gaza has suffered setback after setback and has only delivered a tiny fraction of aid to the Palestinians. Is it time to call this a failed mission?”

Slotkin responded, “I don’t think people understand just how complicated this is. It sounds simple when you say it, but obviously, you heard that it’s just more complicated than we would have liked. I don’t know if it’s — if we’re ready to give it up. I’m going to leave that to the military. But we need more humanitarian aid to be getting into Gaza, and the pier was already a stopgap measure to try and get additional aid in since overland routes weren’t being used the way that I would like them to be used. So, we’ve got to figure out a way to get that aid in. The pier — if it’s not the pier, we just — we need more overland to get things into Gaza.”

Actually, those people with some common sense understood how complicated this would be. Those that didn’t grasp this were democrats.

Most technical things are too complicated for the average dem bureaucrat or politician to understand.

They know so little, they don't know what they don't know.

Gee, Elissa, maybe pResident Biden should have asked a few experts before shooting off his mouth at the SOTU speech that “we” were going to build a new pier. They would have told him how ‘complicated’ it was and that it wasn’t a very good idea.

If you don’t choose a stupid project in the first place, it isn’t complicated at all.

FYI, this goes for a number of non-Gaza situations, like trying to set up an infrastructure for EVs, or how to get enough energy from windmills without killing off all the birds, or how to avoid buying oil overseas while shutting down all the possible domestic production, or how to stop crime in the streets while defunding the police and releasing all violent felons so you have enough room in your jail for a former President’s entourage, etc., etc., etc. In other words, stop being a stupid leftist and things become very uncomplicated very quickly.

I think everyone EXCEPT the Democrats knew how complicated it was.
