Dem Rep: I Voted Against Funding Israel’s Anti-Missile Program Because We Need A Cease Fire

what?? 

Yeah, that would have worked.

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Of course) appeared on Meet The Press yesterday to make it clear that he is as clueless about foreign policy and the nature of Hamas as just about every other Democrat.

When flailing host David Gregory (D-also) pointed out to Ellison that he supported Iron Dome, Israel’s anti-missile system that has effectively and repeatedly thwarted the attempts of Hamas to kill Israeli civilians, Ellison nodded in agreement.

“I always did,” Ellison said.

Then, Gregory asked him why he just voted against additional funding for Iron Dome.

“Because a cease-fire is what we should prioritize now,” was Ellison’s answer.

We would like to express our amazement at the fact that Ellison said that with a straight face, but we’ve long been accustomed to Democrats appearing absolutely bonkers when it comes to understanding the nature of evil around the world.

“A cease-fire protects civilians on both sides,” Ellison continued, apparently willing to double-down on his ignorance on national television. “It doesn’t just say we’re only concerned about people on one side.”

In fact, we should only be concerned about people on one side. Israel is a constitutional democracy. Hamas is a terrorist organization.

So, yeah. Let’s be concerned with the people who promote democracy by giving them protection from the terrorists.

That policy makes sense to everybody except Democratic politicians.
