This was a profoundly necessary, cathartic moment, giving voice to the righteous fury and disgust of millions. It marked a striking departure from his typically charming, winsome, humorous, bipartisanship-minded demeanor. Arguably his finest hour. Thank you, Senator. RIP.
Literally no one is pulling you back in.
This post is grotesque.
Taking glee over the potential of becoming a Senator because of a vacancy created by the sudden death of your colleague is vile.
Completely unfit to serve.
I am very critical of settler violence and think Israel needs to do far more to punish it. But that’s not what this is about.
So what appears to have happened here was an intentional political stunt by someone who has built his entire career on stunts.
@RoKhanna had his Palestinian guides take him into a restricted area that is closed off to civilians without requesting access or coordinating with anyone.
Local security (which Khanna intentionally misrepresents as random settlers) then stopped them. IDF arrived and spent time evaluating the situation. Then Israeli police showed up, determined what had happened, and let them go on their way.
No one was hurt or attacked. No one was threatened. Khanna knew going to a restricted area would get a response and he got exactly what he wanted.
I will note that if a random group goes onto a military restricted area in the U.S., they would also be detained and questioned.
Israel is to blame for letting Khanna plan out this stunt, but that’s exactly what it was. And it was predictably coordinated with the press as he had a NYT photographer with him and waited until they released a story days later to even post about it.
Khanna wants to run for president on this nonsense because he has nothing to offer Americans.
I’m sorry, but the fact Democrat DAs are freeing illegals who commit violent crimes and governors are pardoning *convicted child molesters* to keep them from being deported seems to be a far, far bigger public safety problem than anything ICE is doing.
So Graham Platner has decided to take the Democratic Party of Maine by the arm and throw them into a room and hold them against their will until they bow to his demands huh.
That doesn't sound like something he would do.
Jon, I apologize for embarrassing you – that’s not the kind of politics I want to practice anymore.
A lot of people follow you on Twitter, and they hope that you’ll put your country ahead of your partisanship.
Based on all that has happened since May, would you rather call me a moron… Or ask your deeply flawed Senate candidate from Maine to step aside?
When he was accused of throwing women in rooms and not letting them out and grabbing them by the wrist, Emma defended him and attacked Democrats with the courage to say anything.
