Controversial “Squad” members of Congress are being criticized for their support of Hamas. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MI) broke under the pressure and launched an irrational tirade at a reporter during a recent news conference.
Rep. Pressley of the Squad joined Rep. Omar as they ended an outdoor news conference. They were calling for a halt to Israel’s entry into Gaza, from which Hamas launched an assault on Israel that resulted in more than 1,400 fatalities. A fearless female reporter questioned the congresswomen during the Q&A session about their support for what was thought to be a “double standard” in the war.
“Your colleague Ritchie Torres (D-NY) has said calling for a ceasefire is a dangerous double standard that the U.S. wouldn’t hold themselves to… If this attack happened in America, would you be calling for a ceasefire?” she asked.
Rep. Pressley used an ill-defined generalization in an effort to sidestep the line of inquiry, adding, “Vengeance is not a foreign policy doctrine. We are here to save lives.”
Unfazed, the reporter inquired of the Squad members as to “don’t want Israelis to go after terrorists that burned, tortured, killed their babies and children, and still have them hostage.”
After Pressley’s discomfort at the podium, Rep. Omar takes the chance to criticize the reporter who recently hounded her with difficult questions in a legislative corridor.
“How many more killings is enough for you?” Omar shouted. “Is it a thousand more? Two thousand more? Three thousand? How many more Palestinians would make you happy if they died? Would you be fine if all of the people of Gaza were gone?”
“Would that make you happy? Would that be the thing that makes you proud?” Before yelling out, she said.

Despite Democrats’ anti-Israel prejudice, President Joe Biden pledges his unwavering support for Israel. He exhorts Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, to think about American “overreach” in the wake of 9/11. Conservative media applaud Biden’s pragmatic approach, which infuriates far-left activists who accuse him of betraying Palestinians. Will he abstain from voting in the 2024 election since he is lagging Donald Trump in the polls?
