GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy threatens punishment for @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib over their criticisms of Israel. It's stunning how much time US political leaders spend defending a foreign nation even if it means attacking free speech rights of Americanshttps://www.haaretz.com/world-news/kevin-mccarthy-promises-action-against-ilhan-omar-and-rashida-tlaib-1.6917751 …
Equating @IlhanMN & @RashidaTlaib's criticism of Israel to Steve King's long defense of white supremacy is obscene (McCarthy said it's worse). In the US, we're allowed to criticize our own government: certainly foreign governments. The GOP House Leader's priorities are warped.
Sorry, but you're not going to turn the two first Muslim women to serve in the US Congress into overnight Jew-haters because of their criticisms of Israel. What's actually anti-Semitic is conflating the Government of Israel with Jews, so those of you doing that should stop.
We call @IlhanMN & @RashidaTlaib "the first Muslim women elected to Congress" because the first Muslim was @keithellison. He was also viciously vilified as an anti-Semite - by the DNC's largest billionaire donor. Perhaps there's a pattern to be seen here?https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/12/6/13819248/keith-ellison-dnc-chair …
It’s stunning how much time certain US political leaders spend attacking one of their biggest allies.
Because their government is horrible
What’s more stunning is that the House Minority Leader thinks he has any ability to do, well, really anything. Being in the minority in the House means utter powerlessness. It’s not like the Senate.
It seems fitting to be honest, my nation is in 7 illegal, unconstitutional wars & about to overthrow Venezuela in a Coup. We have destroyed most of the Middle East, killing millions displacing millions without any consideration for their National rights or their Constitutions
You seriously think this involves free speech?
Yes, I think having the government impose official punishment on elected officials for their criticisms of a foreign nation implicates free speech values. Beyond the legalism, it reflects a bizarre set of priorities for a US official to venerate Israel this way above all else.
