    She’s gone over the top many times before, including when she ridiculed Hillary Clinton before the 2016 election. It’s understandable she’d be upset with what’s going on. But she needs to act like a leader, and this really isn’t it.

      Where you been boo?! You think that the only Palestinian in congress, speaking for the plight of the people in Gaza (regardless of your opinion) shows a lack of leadership? It sounds like you want her to be more of a follower? Please tell me, what should she say? Because obviously she has to say something?

      I mean she’s not wrong. Bidens current stance of “support and ask questions later” is very much tantamount to supporting genocide. In the current situation the least you’d expect of the American president is to leave Israel to fend for itself, not send them aircraft carriers and military aid. For comparison in the 1980s Reagan (yes, Reagan) called the Israeli PM and basically ordered him to stop the bombing of West Beirut immediately. The bombing stopped in 20 minutes.

        Sure, Biden is wrong to stop a regional war. You want KIA numbers? That’s certainly the way to get them.

      Or “why centrists are really mad at her.”
