@PeteButtigieg What was your job in Joey Softserve’s admin? I think you only had one. Or were you on family leave the whole time wearing that fake boob?
Apart from the question of whether @RoKhanna is lying (he is), his performative visit to Judea and Samaria broke the rules and undermined our Constitution.
I was US Ambassador to Israel for 4 years. During that time, the US Embassy facilitated the visits of hundreds of members of Congress. IN EVERY SINGLE CASE, the visit, including the itinerary, was coordinated with the Embassy, and usually with the State Department in DC as well.
This is not just a security driven protocol, although that is an important factor. It also is a reflection of the Constitutional mandate that the foreign policy of the United States is directed by the President through the Department of State.
When a US representative visits a foreign country, the Constitution says that the Executive Branch has the paramount interest in how that visit is achieved. That doesn’t mean that the representative can’t do his own fact finding or draw his own conclusions. But when the representative goes off undermining US foreign policy on foreign soil, that’s foul play.
@RoKhanna went rogue. He couldn’t have cared less about how his theatrics reflected upon our nation. He wanted his sound bites and his video clip, no matter how misleading, and he wasn’t going to let our Constitution get in the way.
Update from the reflecting pool! The pool has been drained, and there are no signs of the giant gash that Donald Trump has been lying about. No indications of major vandalism. Just a bad paint job. The only thing that’s been exposed is that Trump has been lying about this.
I want to ask the students screaming “Death to America”, do you have any idea what happens when American values die?
Because I do.
My family fled Iran, a country where freedom died. You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.
You think America is oppressive because you have never experienced real oppression.
You think silence is violence because you’ve never been silenced.
You think words are dangerous because you have never watched a government drag someone away for speaking them.
You think capitalism is evil because you have never stood in a bread line.
You think borders are immoral because you have never had to flee across one.
You think revolution is romantic because you have never had a revolution take everything from you.
I have.
And that’s why I refuse to be quiet.
@RoKhanna The JP referred to you as a “bad actor” that intentionally provoked an international incident of a sort. And that the IDF needs to take better care to not fall into traps set by people like you.
You’re a drama queen and not a very good one at that once the facts are examined.
@RoKhanna@netanyahu You provoked this confrontation. Weiman as an Israeli understood what provocation traveling in unidentified vehicles in a restricted zone. This was an intentional incident designed to create this spectacle. You are a fraud.
@weimanadav Because you were in a restricted area in unidentified vehicles, Einstein. You as an Israeli would understand how provocative this was. This was an intentional spectacle designed to create exactly this.
