Maybe the possibility of a young president isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Apparently, Vice President Kamala Harris, who appears to be the unanimously unelected nominee of the Democratic party (despite having never run in a Democratic presidential primary), is still focused on sorority life. What’s that, they say? Youth is wasted on the young.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not addressed Congress in close to a decade, but Harris was simply unable or unwilling to change or cancel what her staff claims was a pre-existing commitment to attend a sorority function. The war on terror can apparently wait … there’s a kegger that needs attention!
It’s a big statement coming from a woman who may be the next leader of the free world and who has been openly critical of Israel throughout its war with Hamas. She recently empathized with anti-Israel protestors, stating, “They are showing exactly what the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza. There are things some of the protesters are saying that I absolutely reject, so I don’t mean to wholesale endorse their points. But we have to navigate it. I understand the emotion behind it.”
The New York Post reports on Netanyahu’s visit and Harris’ decision to skip his address to Congress. Here’s the start of the story:
Vice President Kamala Harris is snubbing America’s biggest ally in the Middle East for a sorority party.
On Tuesday, Israeli officials described Harris’ decision to skip Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress this week as a “boycott,” and said it was “disappointing.”
The unnamed officials told the UK’s Telegraph newspaper that, “The free world cannot afford leaders who are unable to distinguish between good and evil.”
The Israeli officials said Netayahu is speaking to American lawmakers during the Jewish state’s “difficult war against Iran and its terror proxies.”
One official said Harris’ decision was, “not a way to treat an ally.”
A Harris aide said she will miss Netanyahu’s address due to a previously scheduled event where she will address the historically black Zeta Phi Beta sorority’s “Grand Boule” in Indianapolis, CNN reported.
