Imagine how bad this is that even Mitch McConnell feels compelled to say something:
Political commentator @ananavarro calls on Republican leadership to strip Rep. Steve King of his committee assignments over his racist remarks. https://t.co/tDSA5UpbMA pic.twitter.com/C2SoKqPoJR

McConnell goes further than Trump, who has been silent on Steve King controversy. “There is no place in the Republican Party, the Congress or the country for an ideology of racial supremacy of any kind. .. Rep. King’s statements are unwelcome and unworthy of his elected position”

Steve King is small potatoes with no relevance. Now Trump on the other hand…..
Mitch should say something about this: “All Jews Should Skip the Women’s March” That’s a headline from the NYPost.
Apparently the Women’s March this weekend supports anti-Semitism and should be boycotted according to AIPAC. (Boycott…..isn’t that ironic?)
Israel needs to make peace with its neighbors.
Getting into bed with the dictator and butcher al Sisi of Egypt, who violently suppressed his “Arab Spring,” and the murderer bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, where peacefully protesting can bring a prison term or even death, is not the way to make peace with your neighbors. (Wouldn’t you agree Pompeo?)
Nor is siding with the Sunnis against the Shittes.
Or occupying the Palestinian West Bank for over 60 years. (Wasn’t the Christ a Palestinian?)
If the US is required to spend trillions of dollars and permanently station tens of thousands of combat troops in the Middle East to guarantee Israel’s existence, then the price is too high.
Israel needs to change its approach and pursue peace for a change.
What are you so afraid of, Mitch?
