‘Desperation Politically’: Stefanik Rips Biden Over Halting Weapons Shipment To Israel

President Joe Biden is withholding some arms from Israel while the U.S. ally fights Iran-backed Hamas because there is political “desperation,” a top House Republican said on Sunday.

During an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said that Biden has “equivocated” on his support for Israel as he seeks re-election.

She alluded to backlash against Biden in states with large Muslim populations as far-Left activists encouraged voters to send a message about their dissatisfaction with the Israel-Hamas war.

“This is about Joe Biden’s beleaguered and failing polls in states like Michigan. There is desperation politically,” Stefanik said. “Shame on Joe Biden. It is a betrayal of the importance of the U.S.-Israel alliance, that is the most precious in the region.”

Earlier this month, Biden halted the delivery of 3,500 large bombs to Israel in protest of a full-scale ground operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. House Republicans responded with legislation meant to pressure the Biden administration to provide the defense weapons to Israel.

Although Biden has threatened to veto the bill, House Republicans passed the legislation on Thursday — with the help of 16 Democrats who broke ranks with leadership in their party.

Stefanik asserted Biden had betrayed the “intent” of Congress because he previously signed off on legislation passed by lawmakers that provides aid to Israel and other nations.

“It’s unacceptable. We condemn it. And we will continue to stand up when it comes to standing strong with Israel,” Stefanik said.

In a show of solidarity with Israel, which began a campaign in Gaza to root out Hamas after the group’s deadly terrorist attacks in October, Stefanik traveled to Jerusalem this weekend and delivered a speech.

“I have been clear at home and I will be clear here: There is no excuse for an American president to block aid to Israel – aid that was duly passed by the Congress,” Stefanik told members of the Israeli Knesset.

“There is no excuse to ease sanctions on Iran, paying a $6 billion ransom to the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, or to dither and hide while our friends fight for their lives,” she added. “No excuse. Full stop.”

Argentina President Javier Milei Causes Leftist Meltdown In Europe While Ripping ‘Satanic’ Socialism

Argentina President Javier Milei riled the far-Left in Spain late this week while he visited the country and slammed their political ideology as cancerous and evil.

During his first speech in the country on Friday, the right-wing libertarian political leader and economist said: “Let us not let the dark, black, satanic, atrocious, horrible carcinogenic side that is socialism prevail over us.”

Far-left Spanish Labour Minister Yolanda Diaz, who is also a deputy prime minister, had accused Milei of spreading “hate” with his freedom-loving ideas.

“There aren’t many who sow hate, but they make a lot of noise and flood everything,” said Diaz. “Milei and other governments of hate are back with their austerity measures and authoritarianism.”

Milei said that his policies were putting his country back on track after being on “a decline of more than 100 years”.

Milei has made major cuts to the country’s spending and cut the size of its government, along with other measures, which have resulted in its inflation rate plummeting and the government recording surpluses for the first time in nearly two decades.

Prior to his visit to Spain, Spanish Transport Minister Oscar Puente insulted Milei, claiming that he was using drugs.

Milei’s office responded to “the slander and insults” from Puente by slamming the government of socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, saying that it had “more important problems than what to deal with, such as the accusations of corruption that fall on his wife, an issue that even led him to evaluate his resignation.”

“For the good of the Kingdom of Spain, we hope that justice acts quickly to clarify such a corruption scandal that directly affects stability of his Nation and, consequently, the relations with our country,” the statement said.

The statement slammed the socialist government for putting women at risk by allowing hoards of illegal immigrants in and endangering the middle class with socialist policies that “only bring poverty and death.”
