108. And I NEVER approved of those words being used about President Biden or VP Harris---

but I absolutely DO approve of those words now being applied
to the Israeli military and the state of Israel ! No apologies.

As far as an 'ally responding to a mass murder of its people',

Sure, President Biden probably could not have prevented it---
but that doesn't mean that we should help PAY to make it happen!

As far as I'm concerned, that was his biggest failure as President!

(and it probably did play a major role in our 2024 loss---
although the worldwide inflation caused by COVID was probably the major cause)


"I did not say that you said these words" but you did a damned good job of
implying rhetorically that I had at some point....
