Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.

The democrat convention in Chiraq next year will be a shit show of epic proportions!
The Jewish block of the party must really be taken aback that their beloved Democratic party is so against Israel’s efforts to “finish them” in Gaza. “Finish them” was warmonger Niki Haley’s comment, I’m assuming that means collective punishment of the Gaza non-military population in general, which is a war crime.
This convention might be like the 1968 democrat convention.
The night Chicago died…..
I’m planning on buying lots of popcorn-sit back and watch the show from afar.
An insurrection by any other name.
