FOX News reports: Republican lawmakers criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’ decision to forego attending Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress, calling it “shameful,” while she opted instead to deliver a speech at a college sorority’s convention.
Netanyahu delivered an address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday amid Israel’s ongoing 292-day war with terror group Hamas. Harris, the frontrunning Democratic presidential nominee after President Biden dropped out of the 2024 race, declined to preside over the address and instead chose to speak at the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority’s Grand Boulé in Indiana.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., called Harris’ decision “inexcusable.”
“She will not be there because she refuses to attend,” Johnson said at a GOP press briefing Tuesday. “She needs to be held accountable for that.”
“Kamala Harris is reportedly refusing to attend Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s address before Congress. Disgraceful. She continues to show her antisemitism and contempt for the Jewish people,” Senator Marsha Blacburn, R-Tenn., said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
“Vice President Kamala Harris will not be attending the Address by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. It is shameful that she’s turning her back on one of our most important allies,” Jim Baird, R-Ind., said.
Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., said Harris’ decision to skip the address was “to appease the Democrat Party’s radical antisemitic base.”
“Kamala Harris is President of the Senate. Her conduct and behavior matters, at home and abroad. Her decision to not attend the Prime Minister’s speech is petty politics and shameful treatment of America’s strongest ally,” Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, R-N.Y., said on X.
Neither Biden nor the vice president was present to greet PM Netanyahu when he arrived on Monday, according to reports. Biden, notably, was in Delaware, still recovering from COVID-19.
“Kamala Harris’ refusal to greet Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at the tarmac is reprehensible,” Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, said in a statement. “Her plan to boycott his joint address to Congress is shameful. It’s clear that Harris sides with woke antisemitic members of her party. Texas will always stand with Israel.”
“Kamala Harris didn’t greet the Prime Minister yesterday when he landed. She will skip his joint address to Congress. Other Democrat senators plan to skip as well. Republicans stand with Israel. The Left doesn’t,” Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, posted on X.
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said that Harris skipping the speech is cowering to the radical left’s antisemitism.
“It’s been 291 days since the Iran-backed Hamas terrorists brutally attacked Israel and took so many hostages, including 8 Americans,” Scott said. “When Netanyahu arrived yesterday, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris refused to meet him, once again turning their back on our friend and ally Israel. Then Harris doubled down on her disrespect of our ally, refusing to preside over Prime Minister Netanyahu’s address to a Joint Session of Congress.”… (Continue reading)
