Bernie Sanders defends Hamas, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s nutty hit on Trump and more

Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions

This response:

CNN’s Dana Bash, Sunday: “Would you say that Hamas has some culpability in people starving?”

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “No.”

We say:  Huh? Hamas started the war that’s led to Gaza’s suffering. It steals food from civilians.

It could end the war, and food shortages, tomorrow — by releasing hostages and surrendering.

But, no, per Sanders, the terror group has zero culpability for starvation in Gaza. What’s wrong with this guy?

This remark:

“I don’t want to hear about this bulls–t about what y’all’s constitutions [say about redistricting].” — Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas), Saturday

We say: Oops. In urging “blue states” to ignore their constitutions’ rules on redistricting and “redraw [GOPers’] asses out,” Veasey accidentally confirmed what Republicans have long charged: Democrats don’t care about law and democracy; they just want power.

And will do whatever it takes to get it, legal or not.

This claim:

“Trump . . . has always been intimidated by the intellectual prowess of black men.” — Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Wednesday

We say: Wow, Johnson sure pulled this out of nowhere — except maybe his own obsessions with race.

Anyway, Trump took a bullet and never lost a beat, was hit with 91 criminal charges plus a civil fine of nearly a half billion bucks — and won the presidency decisively.

He doesn’t seem “intimidated” by anyone.

This statement:

“Frankly, I don’t care if al-Sharif was in Hamas or not.” — Foreign Press Association president Ian Williams, Tuesday

We say: Williams only cares that Anas al-Sharif was a journalist, as if that makes a crime out of the IDF attack that killed him.

As for Israel saying he was a Hamas member, Williams blurs that “Hamas is a political organization — as well as a terrorist organization, perhaps.”

Perhaps? Hamas massacred 1,200 innocent Israelis in a single day; there’s no doubt it’s a terrorist group, and al-Sharif was fair game.
