House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent out a scathing press release Thursday that expressed her great dismay over Israel’s decision to block two Congressional reps from entering the country. She laid into Donald Trump as well.
Speaker Pelosi begins:
“As one who loves Israel, I am deeply saddened by the news that Israel has decided to prevent Members of Congress from entering the country.”
Pelosi calls out Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer for contradicting his previous statement.
“Last month, Israeli Ambassador Dermer stated that, ‘Out of respect for the U.S. Congress and the great alliance between Israel and America, we would not deny entry to any Member of Congress into Israel.’ This is a sad reversal and is deeply disappointing. I pray that the Government of Israel will reverse that denial.
Pelosi then alludes that “the great State of Israel” is weak and undignified for denying the Congresswomen entry. She followed those statements by censuring Donald Trump for his lewd and false statements about Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. Trump, in Thursday’s tweet, said the Congresswomen are “the face of Democrats,” and hated Israel; in an earlier tweet that has since been deleted, Trump also said the Michigan and Minnesota representatives also hate “all Jews.”
“Israel’s denial of entry to Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar is a sign of weakness, and beneath the dignity of the great State of Israel. The President’s statements about the Congresswomen are a sign of ignorance and disrespect, and beneath the dignity of the Office of the President.”
Here is Speaker Pelosi’s tweet if you wish to retweet.
Donald Trump remains the epitome of everything that is wrong in this country and in this world. He distributes his bile daily through divisive words and actions. The only thing we should be concentrating on, when it comes to this president, is how to stop him — as soon as possible. Every single day he sucks out a little bit more of America’s democracy and America’s soul.
