Kamala Boycotts Netanyahu, Abandons American HostagesBoycotting for Votes is a Shameful Political Stunt That Could Cost Lives We warmly welcome our old, dear friend, Netanyahu, who is set to speak before a joint session of Congress today. While the United States still has five American hostages being held by the Hamas butchers in Gaza, Vice President Harris, now running for President, is boycotting the upcoming speaking event hosting Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, the leader of our greatest ally in the Middle East and the chief defender of the hostages we are trying to free. Yesterday, massive swarms of protestors occupied the rotunda of the Cannon House, and some arrests were made. Many Democrats will not attend the speech, and Vice President Harris will not co-presiding over the joint meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson, noting the inappropriateness of a senator stepping in for Harris, stated, “It’s, to me, unconscionable that Kamala Harris is denying that responsibility and boycotting the event.” The last time a rank-and-file senator stood in for a vice president was in 1989. Earlier this month, Israel confirmed a hostage deal, and yet Hamas refuses to begin the process of a hostage-for-prisoner swap. Every time our government officials show sympathy to Gazans, make critical remarks about Israel, and waver in their loyalty to Israel by their remarks, this empowers and inflames Hamas to hold out for a better deal. What message does Harris send to Hamas, as second in command and a presidential candidate endorsed by the current president, by boycotting and stepping down, failing to perform her duty by breaking with her responsibility, something not done since 1989?
And what signal does it send nationwide? That Jewish Americans are no longer safe as Harris panders to radicals that hate Jews, hate Israel, and hate America to get their vote! Democrats boycotting the event include: Vice President Kamala Harris; Rep. Greg Casar (D) Texas; Rep. Jim Clyburn (D) South Carolina; Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D) Texas; Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D) Washington; Rep. Hank Johnson (D) Georgia; Rep. Stephen Lynch (D) Massachusetts; and Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D) Illinois.You're currently a free subscriber to Act for America.
