"There has to be some form of reparations and we could discuss what that is, but look, we're looking at more than 200 years of slavery. We're looking at almost 100 years of Jim Crow. We're looking at legalized segregation and in fact segregation on so many levels that exist today based on race and there has not been any kind of intervention done understanding the harm and the damage that occurred to correct [the] course."
You bragged that you were the "last person in the room" on Joe Biden's Afghanistan debacle. Which means you are responsible for 13 dead American soldiers. Your boss checked his watch as their bodies came home. You disgraced America by getting those soldiers murdered through your cowardice and incompetence. Spare me your crocodile tears over the president who actually went to pay them homage.
The word "evil" is not descriptive enough for Hamas. They murdered in cold blood six people they had taken hostage almost a year ago, including an American, just days ago -- all in an attempt to sow seeds of political chaos. A few points:
1. Hamas must be extirpated. It is the only thing to do, on both a moral and practical level.
2. No deal that leaves Hamas in place or allows for the re-Hamasization of Gaza can be morally justifiable -- aside from which, Hamas has rejected every deal.
3. The Biden White House spent months delaying Israel's entry into Rafah, including by withholding armaments. Would more hostages have been liberated in March, if the Biden administration hadn't stood in the way playing effective defense for Hamas?
A tragic day for Israelis and Americans. Evil must always be fought. There is no other way.
Dana Bash's lack of follow-up to virtually any difficult question was egregious tonight. A full-scale betrayal of her supposed journalistic profession. A half-dozen easy follow-ups would have totally fried Kamala's circuits. Bash knew it, which is why she didn't do it.
The bar for our politics has been set so low that Kamala not physically crapping herself during an interview is now considered a brilliant performance. But in reality, she's a mess. Platitudes mixed with lies mixed with nonsense. With saccharine slathered on by Dana Bash.
She literally said that Biden is healthy, smart, committed, loyal to the American people. So why didn't he stay in? Why did she participate in the coup? And Bash never pushed.
Wow, Kamala's answer on Biden -- that she doesn't regret lying about his health, and that he's actually fine -- is going to be pretty damning. How isn't Bash following up and asking "Then why do you think he dropped out?"
