Karine Jean-Pierre Sparks Controversy
With Head-Scratching Answer on Antisemitism

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 10/23/2023 3:15:12 PM

Karine Jean-Pierre sparked controversy on Monday with her answer to a question about the rise in antisemitism following Hamas' slaughter of Israeli Jews and others on October 7th. A reporter asked Jean-Pierre whether the administration was concerned about a potential increase in antisemitism given the protests taking place across the country, some of which are outright calling for genocide. Instead of addressing the matter, the White House press secretary immediately deflected, stating that Muslims "have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks" before showing sympathy for Palestinian-Americans.

just another segment of the population that the demcommies don't like -why are so many people surprised at the degree of anti-Semitism in this country? the demcommies don't like any of us and in particular the blacks and the jews - then they leave the rest of their hating to the blacks to subject everyone else to their dialogue of hate, discrimination and violence

"Muslims "have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks" On what planet? Using the FBI's own data (from 2022, before this pogrom), Jews faced over six times the number for second-largest category of anti-Muslim crime, despite there being less Jews in the USA than muslims. She's objectively lying.

I have not noticed that Jews came to our country to hate us. I have not noticed that Jews douse themselves with cologne, get on a jetliner, and crash it into skyscrapers. There IS a difference, Latrine. There IS a difference.

"have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks" As #6 stated "on what planet." I do sometimes have a little sympathy for KJP. She has to defend the indefensible and thus has to resort to outright lies hoping stupid Americans won't fact-check her and the media will ignore. Every time one of these Islamic savages commits an atrocity...The Pulse Nightclub, Boston Marathon bombing, 9-11 etc etc, we are told that peaceful Muslims fear a "backlash" that never, ever comes. That's because most Christians and Jews are civilized people. There may come a time however...

This will not change until a large enough group of white house journalists push back and insist she answer the question asked. If they keep letting her get away with these non-answers, don't expect a change in the status quo.

President Joe Biden’s foreign policy chief, Antony Blinken, says Americans must give foreigners the opportunity to migrate into their U.S. homeland. “You have to give them an opportunity to do that,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at an event at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy in Texas. Blinken did not urge his government peers to enforce the immigration laws that protect Americans from employers who hire illegal immigrants that undercut Americans’ bargaining power in the labor market. He also did not mention the many polls showing the growing public opposition to Biden’s mass illegal migration.

It’s an Empire State of decline. Beset by high taxes and quality of life woes, 545,498 New Yorkers left for other states in 2022, according to US Census data. Top destinations included Florida — the most popular choice — followed by New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania as well as more distant states like Texas and California. The exodus was partly offset by more people moving to the Empire State in 2022 than any year over the last decade, with 301,000 new residents making the transition. Despite that uptick, New York still suffered a net population loss of 244,000.

Since the October 7 Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians, House Democratic members of the “Squad” have drawn harsh criticism from even members of their own party for their rabidly anti-Israel posturing. But rather than shining a spotlight on the controversy, the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) instead dutifully sheltered them from public scrutiny; in fact, since the attack, they have not received even a second of airtime on the evening newscasts. MRC analysts combed through all of ABC, CBS, and NBC’s evening newscasts from October 7 through October 22 for any mention of the House Democrats colloquially known as “the Squad.”

Former President Donald Trump has mocked President Joe Biden for using the 'children's stairs' to board Air Force One - while prodding the president over photos that showed him napping on the beach while at a Monday rally in New Hampshire. The visit to the Granite State saw Trump, 77, finally make his candidacy official - after which he spoke to supporters for some 100 minutes in Derry and gleefully slapped around his embattled successor. Specifically, the GOP frontrunner honed in on the 80-year-old commander-in-chief's series of stumbling incidents, and the fact that he has been using a shorter staircase than usual to board and deplane

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) on Monday blew holes into James Biden’s reason for allegedly cutting President Joe Biden a $200,000 check in 2018, claiming it is a story contrived “out of their rear end.” James Biden, Joe Biden’s brother, denied the $200,000 check he gave Joe Biden was due to a pre-existing business relationship. He insisted the money was a return payment for money Joe Biden lent him. Comer believes the $200,000 payment is suspicious because the money flowed through a distressed entity, Americore, which loaned James Biden a total of $600,000. On March 1, 2018, Americore wired James Biden $200,000. That same day,

A group of House Republicans is reminding President Joe Biden he does not have any authority under existing federal immigration law to bring Palestinians from Gaza to the United States via a parole pipeline. Reps. Josh Brecheen (R-OK), Andy Ogles (R-TN), Jeff Duncan (R-SC), and Clay Higgins (R-LA) have sent a letter to Biden asking him to oppose resettling Palestinians across American communities — an issue the White House has been silent on even as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) have voiced their support for such a plan.

WASHINGTON — Republicans on Tuesday picked Rep. Tom Emmer as their nominee for House speaker. The nominee now goes to the full House for a vote. It’s three weeks since Republicans ousted Kevin McCarthy. The House speaker will need to accomplish the seemingly impossible job of uniting the GOP majority. Emmer of Minnesota jumped ahead as the top vote-getter on early round ballots and was battling Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana on a fifth ballot. Others are dropping out including Florida newcomer Byron Donalds, who’s aligned with Donald Trump, and Kevin Hern of Oklahoma. The nominee will also need to win a majority in a House floor vote.

You can decide and debate this in the comments section below. Former President Barack Obama has another lengthy post about his “thoughts” on the Israel-Hamas war. It’s a tortured thought exercise that will inevitably leave all parties dissatisfied. Obama voices his support for Israel, the safety of its people, and its right to exist, which is anathema to the legions of far-left, pro-Hamas supporters we’ve seen come out of the bushes in the past two weeks. These folks weren’t clamoring for a two-state solution; they wanted Israel destroyed, along with its people.

This was Israel’s war to fight and we would provide material and vocal support, but allow them to handle it as they saw fit. That lasted for about two weeks.
