The silence was deafening Monday when the "big three" evening news broadcasts refused to cover the despicable comments made Saturday by Anti-Semitic Democrat Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal who had called America's biggest ally in the Middle East a "racist state" during her speech at the Net-kooks AKA "Netroots conference." Jayapal is not some fringe Democrat, she serves as the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which is now the mainstream of the Democrat Party.

Democrats on Monday scolded one of their own, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, in a scramble to smooth over her anti-Israel rhetoric ahead of Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s address to Congress this week. Ms. Jayapal, a prominent progressive from Washington state, apologized over the weekend for calling Israel a “racist state.” She said she was trying to defuse a tense situation involving pro-Palestine protesters at the Netroots Nation conference in Chicago.

For instance, prior to taking office, Rep. Ilhan Omar (Minn.) tweeted in 2012, "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel." Not much has changed since she took office, as reflected by her statement last week, when Omar indicated there is "no way in hell" she would attend Israeli President Isaac Herzog's speech to Congress on July 19. Jayapal, Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), and other progressive Democrats have similarly refused to attend the speech. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) claimed...

A Democratic representative’s hot take against Israel sent her party into damage control, forcing a retraction and earning her a rebuke for “fighting to make it clear that” the ally nation “is a racist state.” Unfolding over the weekend, the inciting statement occurred Saturday when Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal jumped in as hecklers were shouting down her Illinois colleague, Rep. Jan Schakowsky. “Can I say something as someone who’s been in the streets,” Jayapal began at the Netroots Nations conference, “and has participated in a lot of demonstrations.” “I want...

Pramila Jayapal’s characterization of Israel as a “racist state” over the weekend as official Washington prepares for a visit by the Jewish state’s president, Isaac Herzog.
