On Tuesday night, “The Nightly Show” host Larry Wilmore leaned into his critcism of GOP leadership for inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress and needle the President.
Wilmore noted that Obama used the exact same language as Netanyahu regarding Iran’s potential nuclear program the day before the address, and wondered why the Israeli leader was even invited.
“He could’ve just called,” Wilmore said. Soon it became clear to him that Republicans were interested in hearing a take on Iran from someone other than the Democratic commander-in-chief.
“You made Netanyahu come all the way over here just to embarrass Obama? He’s the prime minister of Israel, not the ‘Better Call Saul’ of international diplomacy!” he said.
Wilmore then ran a fake ad for “Netanyahu & Partners,” a firm dedicated to redressing conservative grievances once a country decides to “elect a black.”
“If you hate your President for ideological or racist reasons, we’ll get you the justice talk radio says you deserve,” the ad’s narration said.
Watch the clip:
“If you hate your President for ideological or racist reasons, we’ll get you the justice [Fox network and] talk radio says you deserve”
The idea is not so far fetched,would they dare disrespect a white president like that, probably not.
PROBABLY not?
Can you name a single White President whose Congressional opponents orchestrated anything even remotely similar to offering a foreign leader an international platform from which to piss on them?
I saw this on This Morning. A bit later, Peggy Noonan gave her rave review of Natanyahu’s speech. Not one person addressed the disrespect to the President. Nor did they discuss how dangerous it was to allow a foreign prime minister to interfere with a coalition of nations attempting to negotiate a nuclear agreement.
These people wave their American flag and talk of patriotism, but they are treasonous bastards who are so bent on embarrassing the US President that we will end up at war with Iran. You would think that at some point people would realize that the recent wars haven’t gone well. It’s as if some won’t be satisfied until there’s another world war.
I wonder how many people who are loving Netanyahu today are willing to see their children and grandchildren go fight in Iran. None. We won’t see it. The GOP will beat the war drum so that other people’s children can fight and die.
They make me sick.
Can you imagine if the democrats had invited the French president to speak about Iraq during Bush’s presidency?
