💯🙏🇺🇸🇮🇱
Pennsylvania where I live is part of the issue. We have clown fetterman representing us
Well said .I agree
I remember when Riley Gained was barricaded in a campus bathroom for hours getting death threats, being screamed at, by students. It seems to be a dangerous trend by Students.
Maybe they are the problem & should be looked into.
How about Palestinian who had been locked for more than 70 years in the open air prison? How about invading someones county and occupying it? How about making GaZa graveyard of children? Jews lived with muslims for centuries. Don't push western guilt to us.
Bravo senator Josh Hawley God Bless you
Why exactly?
Seriously on what?
Josh = pro Russian propagandist
ummm, because Hawley doesn’t want a second holocaust🤔 I already know what your rebuttal will include and NO, nobody with a soul, regardless of political or religious affiliations, will want innocent Palestinians to suffer either so don’t say that in your response as you enlighten me🤔 I’m waiting…
Edit…that was directed at beetie1308
@@snuglife599 so If nobody with a soul wants innocent palestinians to die and you don't want me to say that Israel is committing the exact Holocaust that you say Hawley doesn't want (because you already knew that) than the only other thing I can infer from your comment is that you agree that Hawley has no soul
Senator Hawley I am an old man in, Pennsylvania but I have to tell you sir that I am proud to live in Pennsylvania and I am extremely proud of your work to protect our country and our values, hats off to you senator this country certainly appreciates you.
Too many long terms in government, money corruption, etc. Term Limits, and audit their service and tax returns every year. If not up to speed, dismissed without pay, perks and pensions. Actually, like the real world of business
Hawley a Proud Mahzurraian!!!
IF HE CANNOT ANSWER TRUTHFULLY A HONEST QUESTION HE SHOULD BE DISMISSED
Strawman arguments senator wasting judges valuable time.
Hes forcing him. You have said you didnt read about the situation but still support one side.
He won't say he's a.gainst murder of Jewish people. Sickening
How about Palestinian who had been locked for more than 70 years in the open air prison? How about invading someones county and occupying it? How about making GaZa graveyard of children? Jews lived with muslims for centuries. Don't push western guilt to us.
It is very dangerous to have someone who can't directly condemn the genocide as a JUDGE. As a judge you should condemn the killing of your fellow human beings without any pause thinking about it. Don't take him. That's a red warning sign.
All political theater that amounts to absolutely zero.
Sad statement but true. I believe they do this for the American people but to no avail
@@markmassie3719100% because if Americans felt there was nobody to voice their frustrations, they’d be out in the streets.
Only because the Democrats are in control of the Senate. None of these Biden nominees would make it through if Republicans held the Senate.
He is aces at vetting these nominees and letting people know things they had no idea about. These guys lie and hide everything about themselves until it's too late and we've got them ensconced in office
We need more Senator Hawley!
Not on foreign policy
Based to the core, strawman arguments
Ya, sure, if there are more senators like Hawley, USA will fall apart at a much faster pace. A clear foreign lobbyist. He neither cares about the values of USA, not does he care about its people.
@@midlandswingchun1508that's right he's biased on the side of the American people and we all support him
How about Palestinian who had been locked for more than 70 years in the open air prison? How about invading someones county and occupying it? How about making GaZa graveyard of children? Jews lived with muslims for centuries. Don't push western guilt to us.
Our country is a hot fckn mess🤬🤬🤬🤬thank God for the few who calls out the BS
The judicial nominees this administration is putting up are all jokes.
And Anti-American
Commumist.
CCP Hamas plants.
Everyone in the Biden administration are Obama leftovers from his administration. Obama is running America!
And dangerous.😢
Mr. Hawley, you're not going to get a straight answer from this guy. He's danced all around your questions.
He can’t say killing Jews is wrong???
Strange , just a simple question , why can't Edward just condemn the campus protest. Is he under threat?Or connection with mainland China?
Why condemn campus peaceful protests? We all condemn Hamas or violence, but this is about USA campus.
Because he is a communist
Or in connection with the Glaxonik Empire of Jupiter, even? We just don't know.
Trump/Desantis/Cruz/Hawley/Gaetz with a Ben Shapiro/Matt Walsh/Jordan Petersen chaser and then throw in some Rogan/Musk for desert and maybe we can get back to reality🤔😢 Watching America deteriorate into a self hating, authoritarian “woke” regime is truly disheartening😢
😅😅😅😅
This guy is lair, he cannot condemn the atrocities!!
I don't see any of these other politicians condemning Israeli atrocities. So what's the difference?
I know he is
Atrocities? u mean hamas atrocities of 1400.or the bigger atrocities which is isreal genocide towards gaza of about 10000 and 75 years of living in open concentration camps
-Are you against beheading babies?
-Well... I haven't study the case, so...
Thank God for Senator Hawley.
🤣🤣🤣 The nazarene was not God.
No his father was, Yes he was Perfect though!!!
Why what did god do. Pretty sure god hates all these MAGGATS…
@@walleyperch lower case god hates the one and only upper case God.
Complete shill
"I don't know about that. I'm not familiar. I haven't studied that. I'm not an expert on that. I haven't been aware of that. I don't have that information with me. Those figures are not at my disposal. I'd have to get back to you. I regret I've been unable to respond to your requests. I don't have those numbers in front of me. I can assure you I believe in puppies and butterflies." ... says EVERY Biden nominee to face a confirmation hearing. A quisling, mewling, lying, dissembling, distorting, fabricating herd of incompetents and derelicts - desperate to hide, blur and prevaricate about their documented spoken and written statements - in possession of only one thing: Their personal ideological fealty to The Woke Agenda.
I do think he should at least be aware of current events. Pitiful!
Biden would not be told by the DNC to nominate these lunatics, otherwise.
How can someone as judge could rule if they are "not aware" of what is going on outside
They are well trained aren't they
Well put edaniel. Agree with you 100%
It’s not complicated…..
He can’t condemn terrorism.
What about Israel's terrorism?? It's almost 10X worse than Hamas (if we go by innocent civilians killed)!
@@Dan-sc7usSee...that's the problem with the proportionate response argument. So you are basically saying you are ok if Israel murders as many kids and rapes as many women as Hamas did on Oct 7th. You can't put a price on the safety of a people. Israel will continue as long as Gaza is demilitarized.
It's not a "complicated situation" to see that his nomination should be readily rejected.
What does he have to "study" about Oct 7......???? These nominees should NOT be nominated to any positions....maybe at a food truck....
Because the conflict didn't start on Oct. 6. That's why he said its complicated and didn't want to comment further
@@beetie1308100%. Because its "complex" he cant straight up say that the murder, rape and kidnapping is wrong. Because it's complex.
@@yonatanculiner6945 actually maybe its not that complex. If Israel ended their occupation of Palestine, the murders and kidnappings might stop. But let me guess, you probably can't straight up say the occupation is wrong. Because its complex
Hawley should be picked for Vice President
He needs to be President
Agreed
@@mavg4271
@@mavg4271absolutely!
He would be a great one ☝️
Nope. He’s smart enough to know that it’s suicide to be a part of Trump’s administration
Shame on that man can't bring himself to condem hamas isis 🇬🇧🇮🇱
You clearly can't bring yourself to condemn Israel, so what's the difference?
Evil comes in all shapes sizes and colors
He's not willing to comment about his personal views.
Oh he got that right....the role that he will be "playing!!" 😈
All three need to be dismissed. All are not answering the questions truthfully.
Josh hawley for president .i think he would make an outstandingbpresident
This guy can't condemn a terror attack? Why is that so difficult? Bizarre.
It’s truly not freaking difficult to condemn terrorism & calls for the mass extermination of a people or the destruction of a nation … 🤦♀️
You mean like what Israel is doing to the palestinians?
Exactly
@@beetie1308it’s a complicated issue your reducing to school yard logic.
I don’t have an answer but the first step is looking at both sides.
Here’s a crazy take. You can condemn terrorism, and you can also condemn how Israel retaliated and the humanitarian crisis.
By looking at both sides you can have an honest discussion.
Hasn't "studied it", Is "not familiar" and has no opinion, but thinks he qualified to be the ambassador? That's not good.
Senator Hawley is amazing! He should run for president.
Senator Hawley is unbelievably smart guy…..He destroys every idiot from old men in 5 min
He is not worthy of being a judge.
These nominees are WRONG for the United States of America 🇺🇸 in sooooo many different levels 🙄
I LOVE this man. He'd better be the next President. Josh for Prez!!!
How about Palestinian who had been locked for more than 70 years in the open air prison? How about invading someones county and occupying it? How about making GaZa graveyard of children? Jews lived with muslims for centuries. Don't push western guilt to us.
Honest question for some people commenting. If some one came to your house and tried to take your land wouldn't you fight back? Just as the French & the Dutch did in WW2. USA/UK called them Resistance fighters and helped them.
Has this nominee been under a rock
Everyone who watches these judicial hearings and the indirect answers from these marxixt judges needs to realize they will be put in positions of law making and deciding on cases in our Country this is not good for our Country.
Blinking A LOT...AND his lack of disavowing the tyranny and terrorism by hamas is showing cowardace and complicity
Vote no on him he has got to go!!!!
first judge literally spoke as if he is on trial for murder... something aint right about him
He won't answer, wow!
He seems to be waiting for someone to tell him how to answer the question
Shame on that Asian dude.
Don't appoint this guy. He finds it very difficult to condemn the actions of Hamas.
One word....spineless
What an irony of fate! The nominee is asked to have his allegiance to Israel and Jews, not America and American national interests.
What a dude he cant say because he has not study the situation he should not be qualified for a position of power . Vote no to this man
Love this guy❤️❤️❤️Make him president
He is squirming. He is avoiding an answer and not standing up for what he believes regardless of the effect on his career.
I live in the UK and I am familiar with the goings on in US universities. Why doesn't this guy?
He has selective vision and selective hearing
Why is he questioning freedom of speech when he stands for freedom of speech.
Surely there is something more darker behind seen that none of these politicians can’t answer they scared
He is
not familiar?????
Take him out...NOW!!!
Before it's too late
Nothing is going to happen and we all know it! Justice never comes!
God Bless you, senator Hawley!
One of my favorite senators, and this guy should never be any type of Judge…. He’s acting as a politician, and stand in fear to tell his own truth and a judge at this level has not study this issue. It’s complicated what could be complicated with the quote statement that he was given?
He just told him the situation about the Jewish student barricade in the library familiar not what does that have to do with anything? He described as situation what is your position Judge? Senator Josh never making assumptions. They are all wearing masks most likely from the same stores with the same owners.
A judge should NEVER rule on personal opinions!
@@Dan-sc7us absolutely you’re right♟️… but he’s not a judge yet and to say “I have not studied this situation yet “it’s ridiculous, which is why I said politician answer…
Look what happened to the Rashid Talib …, as a member of Congress, you represent the people of America 🇺🇸…
It doesn’t matter left right middle straight down up … when a terrorist organization is on the United States list and you support their actions… congresswoman saying I’m against for my oath just by saying- and writing that…
This is only one example - and remember this is the people house not hers.
@@sagikalev5299 I think Talib is 100% within her rights! She's NOT supporting terrorists, she's supporting Palestinian people! Why do think people can (or should) blindly support Israel?? Israel is NOT America either!!
@@Dan-sc7usshe has not said Hamas should surrender she is for terrorist
@@Dan-sc7us WASHINGTON - Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives voted to quash an effort to censure Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib after Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene accused her of “antisemitic activity.”
The motion to table the resolution, introduced by Greene on Oct. 24, succeeded in a 222-186 vote Wednesday night.
The Georgia Republican falsely accused Tlaib of “leading an insurrection” when hundreds of protesters sang and chanted in a U.S. House office building on Oct. 18, advocating for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
Hamas, long designated a terrorist group by the U.S., launched a brutal surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7, initially killing roughly 1,400. Authorities in the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian territory seized by Hamas in 2007, estimate more than 8,700 deaths since Israeli counterstrikes began.
Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American and one of a handful of Muslims in Congress, spoke at an Oct. 18 demonstration outside of the Capitol. Protesters from the group Jewish Voice for Peace who rallied inside the Cannon House Office Building were arrested and led to an exit in an orderly single-file line.
The Michigan Democrat has long voiced concern over Israeli-Palestinian relations and has escalated those concerns to include U.S. security assistance to Israel as the civilian death toll grows in the Gaza Strip.
She voted against a House resolution on Oct. 25 expressing solidarity with Israel and instead championed a resolution calling for a ceasefire.
Greene said Wednesday night that GOP House members who didn’t vote to censure Tlaib are “feckless.”
The 23 Republicans who joined Democrats to table the motion against Tlaib included Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota, Ken Buck of Colorado, John Duarte of California, Chuck Edwards of North Carolina, Morgan Griffith of Virginia, Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin, Harriet Hageman of Wyoming, Bill Huizenga of Michigan, Darrell Issa of California, Dusty Johnson of South Dakota, Doug LaMalfa of California, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Tom McClintock of California, Richard McCormick of Georgia, Max Miller of Ohio, Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa, John Moolenaar of Michigan, Austin Scott of Georgia, Chip Roy of Texas, Victoria Spartz of Indiana, Mike Turner of Ohio, Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin and Tim Walberg of Michigan.
“This is why Republicans NEVER do anything to stop the communists Democrats or ever hold anyone accountable!! PATHETIC,” Greene posted on X.
Twenty-four members did not vote, 13 Democrats and 11 Republicans.
Greene had been pushing for support all week, and wrote in a letter to colleagues Monday that Tlaib “must be held to account.”
Greene also admonished Tlaib for publicly blaming Israeli forces for a deadly explosion at a Gaza hospital on Oct. 17. Israel’s military immediately denied the claim, and U.S. intelligence officials said the attack appeared to be a misfired rocket from within the Gaza Strip. Tlaib’s post on X about the explosion is no longer on her feed.
Tlaib called Greene’s censure effort “unhinged” and “deeply Islamophobic.”
“I am proud to stand in solidarity with Jewish peace advocates calling for a ceasefire and an end to the violence,” she said in a statement posted to X.
“I will not be bullied, I will not be dehumanized, and I will not be silenced. I will continue to call for a ceasefire, for the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid, for the release of the hostages and those arbitrarily detained and for every American to be brought home,” she wrote.
Greene’s effort to censure Tlaib sparked a retaliatory move from Democrats when Rep. Becca Balint of Vermont re-introduced her own resolution to censure Greene, accusing her of fanning “the flames of racism, antisemitism, LGBTQ hate speech, Islamophobia, anti-Asian hate, xenophobia, and other forms of hatred.”
Balint’s censure proposal against Greene recounts comments made by the Georgia Republican dating back to 2018 about 9/11, mass shootings and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, among other topics.
Greene is known for incendiary and extreme rhetoric. On Oct. 26 she called Tlaib a “Jihad squad member,” referring to the “squad” nickname for a group of progressive House members.
A motion to table Balint’s resolution did not reach the floor Wednesday night.
“I’m celebrating the fact that the truth prevailed about my friend and colleague Rep. Rashida Tlaib,” Balint said in a statement after the vote. “We couldn’t let one of our own be censured for something that is completely fabricated and racist. I was surprised - when on the floor - several Republicans voted with us to table the hateful and untruthful censure resolution that Rep. Greene brought against Rep. Tlaib.”
He refuses to say that what's happenig to israel is wrong
We all know what the results would be if an average person refused to answer any questions during a job interview!
THE SAME SHOULD APPLY!!!
Well like Negan said! Not to make a decision is a BIG decision
He's a yes man
We need this guy in the Houses of Parliament
What is wrong with the people who are called in front of this committee?? How are they allowed to NOT ANSWER DIRECT QUESTIONS??? Are they required to answer under oath?? I am asking because I am Australian and in front of a senate committee in this country you are required to answer under penalty of law..
Please get these people off the administration in USA 😢😢😢😢😢 why why why are they there😮😮😮😮😮
Supporting the Palestinian people is not supporting Hamas. It's insane to imply so.
Really? Have the Palestinian people said they are ok with Israel existing?
No it's not they were taking hostages and bringing them back for bounties screw the Palestinians
@@Hc_tbc500umm i think the palestinians are more concerned with their own existance
He doesn’t want to be truthful.
Well Hawley was leading by example
A judge should be able to have an opinion.
Fair enough but he is trying to dodge the questions.
100% agree. They are always so afraid of giving their personal view. If they can't see that difference, then it's more alarming. So their "talk around" stuff just makes them look like they can't see the difference
He most certainly does have an opinion. His repeated evasion makes his opinion very clear
These are Activists, not Judges....BIg Difference ..Pay attention
Josh Hawley is a united states senator for the country of israel
DISMISS HIM! WE NEED SOMEONE WITH GUTS. Thank you for your patience Senator.
He avoids and refuses to answer the questions, what a shady character, he doesn't deserve the position
"I haven't studied the situation" (but he knows it's "complicated")... Hey, buddy, are you FOR or AGAINST the extermination of the Jews? Have you been living under a rock your whole life? Have you not heard of WWII and the Nazis? Perhaps you should study some world history...
From the river to the sea is not a call for Isreals destruction it's a call to be free from Isreals restrictions of palanstins.
The son of Hamas explained they want destruction and death. And warned news stations are liars Palestinians want death and destruction. Watch it before they censor that also.
Kirby started out saying there's 50 or so America's in Gasa ,now he has it up to 500to600,next he will have it at 150,000.
Anything to get Isreal to pause and give Hamas time to regroup. 🤨
Didnt know he was still alive after what candace owens did to him.
Another politically woke judge for the District of New Jersey . What ever sympathy he shows for Israel is just to save face.
Many, many are guilty of that!!
Dickie Durbin being in charge of any is the dumbification of America
How is it that these judgeship nominees can use client lawyer silence and lawyers defending someone in the USA #45 CANNOT
Victory always to ISRAEL FOREVER AND God's Blessings
THIS SENATOR IS A BULLY AGAINST FREE SPEECH. HE SHOULD BE FIRED.
We stand with Israel ❤
"from the river to the sea" could just as easily be an aspiration for the end of the occupation, realisation of the legal right to statehood and end of apartheid
If he say anything He will not be funded 😮😮😮 it is all about money
How about you condemn the annihilation of Jews!!!!. Cheers Rosemary Western Australia 73yrs
What is the use of the interview if they not going to answer the questions? They should be disqualified.
Josh stop answering for him. He needs to learn how to speak for himself. My goodness, he is a freaking judge.
America first
People like this run America
"DOCK THAT GUY A DAYS PAY FOR NAPPING ON THE JOB". A GREAT BIG RESOUNDING NO VOTE WOULD SUFFICE!
Josh Hawley is just fantastic
Legend Hawley
I cant believe how he makes no mention of killing 4k children as wrong...i guess they dont matter 😢
These nominees have gotten so used to being allowed to not give their views and that no longer works. They must be made to give their views in order to make an informed decision. Period.
We have one ally in the middle East. If Palestine would reach for peace, maybe they can find freedom.
Typical of every congressional hearing. Nobody will answer questions. Its hair pulling frustrating
Jesus, it's a simple question. Now everyone knows where he stands.
Typical dem answer lie spin repeat
Reject nominee
These crooks always swerved and did not answered the questions.
He can't tell you if he is a pro hamas protestor
This is so sadly funny. The question is Do you condemn the genocide of Jews while the real genocide is on Palestinians. Genocide by a slogan vs a genocide by bombs. No condemnation for the bombing genocide but a condamnation is required for the metaphoric genocide. What a fair world! What a wonderful peaceful country! What a humanitarian country!
