Itâs not often that I get to write something positive about White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
The press secretary has built up a reputation of giving nonsensical replies and rarely giving a straight answer, referring to her notes so often that Fox Newsâ Jesse Watters just calls her âBinder.â
But we have to give credit where credit is due, and kudos must be given to Jean-Pierre for apparently blasting some members of her own party for their âwrong,â ârepugnant,â and âdisgracefulâ comments about the vile attacks on Israel by Hamas, according to Fox News.
During a press briefing on Tuesday, Jean-Pierre was asked what her message was to some members of Congress who seem to be equating Hamas terror attacks with actions that Israel previously took.
âIâve seen some of those statements this weekend, and weâre going to continue to be very clear. We believe theyâre wrong. We believe theyâre repugnant, and we believe theyâre disgraceful,â Jean-Pierre said.
Although the members of Congress were not mentioned by name, it was widely reported that certain members of the far-left âsquadâ had made comments seeming to equate Israel and Hamas or even cast blame for the horrific attacks on the U.S.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan put out a statement blaming the U.S. for funding the âapartheid government.â
âI grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day. ⌠As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue,â Tlaib wrote.
Tlaib also refused to condemn or even comment on âHamas terrorists chopping off babies heads,â as seen in this blood-boiling clip.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez of New York released a statement that read, âAn immediate ceasefire and de-escalation is urgently needed to save lives.â
Another member of the squad, Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, blamed the U.S. government for their support of âIsraeli military occupation and apartheid,â writing in her statement, âAs part of achieving a just and lasting peace, we must do our part to stop this violence and trauma by ending U.S. government support for Israeli military occupation and apartheid.â
Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who has made anti-Semitic comments in the past, posted on X on Monday, âJust as we honor the humanity of the hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians and 9 Americans who were killed this weekend, we must honor the humanity of the innocent Palestinian civilians who have been killed and whose lives are upended.â
Omar went on to attack Israel for the âroutine destruction of their ancestral homes, destruction of their crops, and violent attacks on Palestiniansâ and for âattacks by the IDF and settlers against Palestinians.â
âAs the world is condemning Hamasâs attacks, we must also oppose an Israeli military response that has already taken the lives of hundreds of Palestinians, including nearly two dozen children,â Omar wrote.
Jean-Pierre made it clear that there are no âwhat aboutsâ to this issue.
âOur condemnation belongs squarely with terrorists who have brutally murdered, raped, kidnapped hundreds, hundreds of Israelis,â Jean-Pierre said, Fox reported. âThere can be no equivocation about that. There are not two sides here. There are not two sides.â
In times like this, it becomes clear how wrong the left is to label conservatives as the Nazis and anti-Semites.
The Republican Party has been united and unequivocal in its condemnation of the attacks.
Republican Rep. Cory Mills of Florida put his own life on the line to help rescue 32 Americans, many of them likely Jewish, out of Israel, according to Floridaâs Voice.
Despite the slurs and stones thrown at conservatives, they always have and always will stand with Israel.
The giant glass house belongs to the Democrats.
Itâs good to see the press secretary, albeit tacitly, admit it.
