Apartheid

Massie (R-KY-4) 01/06/2022: Tweet – β€œWhere does this end? Once you dehumanize a group of people bad things always happen. This is worse than β€œmedical apartheid.” Link to quoted tweetFrench president Macron has attacked the unvaccinated as "non-citizens". This is extremely dangerous rethoric that dehumanizes a group of people. I though Europe had learnt not to do this from the past?”


Syria

Khanna (D-CA-17) 01/07/2022: Tweet – β€œIt's time to de-escalate in Syria β€” a war Congress has never authorized. I was proud to cosponsor @RepBowman's NDAA amendment to require withdrawal of all US troops from Syria without congressional authorization. Link to quoted tweetFurther hostilities between US forces and β€œIran-supported malign actors” in NE Syria. Biden admin, what's the legal basis for these hostilities?

Good (R-VA-5) 01/07/2022: Tweet – β€œTwitter provides a platform to the Ayatollah, CCP, and Taliban but not to Donald Trump, MTG, and Joe Rogan and his guests. Proud to co-sponsor @RepJimBanks' H.R. 2000”

Green (R-TN-7) 01/06/2022: Tweet – β€œPresident Biden's lack of transparency is dangerous and deeply concerning. Despite the fact that Iran is a leading state sponsor of terror AND backs the Taliban, this Administration is just fine keeping Congress in the dark. This cannot stand. Link to quoted tweetJUST IN: Biden Admin Refuses to Follow Law Requiring it Disclose How Iran Sanctions Relief Funds Terrorism -- White House also will not comply with legal mandate to provide details on intel sharing with Taliban, bungled Afghan evacuation, sparking GOP ire (GOP Slams Biden Decision To Ignore Mandate To Disclose How Iran Sanctions Relief Funds Terrorism - Washington Free Beacon)”

Lesko (R-AZ-8) 01/07/2022: Tweet – β€œCensorship is inherently un-American. If we do not hold Big Tech accountable now, the censorship and fact checking will only get worse. Link to quoted tweetIf Twitter actually cared about β€œmisinformation” they would've banned the Chinese Communist Party. Or the Taliban. Or the Ayatollah. Or Dems pushing the Russia collusion hoax. But instead they choose to go after elected Republican officials. We will hold Big Tech accountable.”

Tenney (R-NY-22) 01/07/2022: Tweet – β€œAs Iran threatens U.S. officials and orchestrates attacks against U.S. personnel, the Biden Administration is chasing the mullahs around Europe begging them for a deal. It's wrong. End the #IranTalks & reimpose pressure.”


Iraq

Clyde (R-GA-9) 01/06/2022: Tweet – β€œAs a combat veteran who served in Iraq after 9/11, I find comments comparing the January 6th riots to September 11th or the attack on Pearl Harbor distasteful, disrespectful, and disingenuous. VP Harris should be ashamed. Link to video”

Green (R-TN-7) 01/06/2022: Tweet – β€œI've said it once and I'll say it againβ€”Joe Biden's weakness on the world stage invites terrorists and despots into thinking now is their chance. The waters are being tested. Katyusha rocket hits military base at Baghdad airport... | abcnews.go.com”


Sudan

Leahy (D-VT) 01/06/2022: Tweet – β€œThe people of South Sudan deserve leaders who will work to build a democratic and prosperous country, not hold onto power and enrich themselves.

Jewish, Anti-semitism

Levin (D-MI-9) 01/06/2022: Tweet – β€œI joined the Fenster family as Huntington Woods honored Danny and celebrated his return home from unjust imprisonment in Burma.

Afghanistan

Clyde (R-GA-9) 01/06/2022: Tweet – β€œThen why did you abandon Americans in Afghanistan? Then why do you refuse to enforce our border laws? Then why have you continuously lied about COVID-19, inflation, and the effects of wasteful spending? You can't be a leader only when it fits your narrative, Mr. President. Link to quoted tweetYou can't love your country only when you win. You can't obey the law only when it's convenient. You can't be patriotic when you embrace or enable lies.”

Gooden (R-TX-5) 01/06/2022: Tweet – β€œWhat Congress should be investigating: The disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal The crisis on the southern border The Biden FBI's war on school parents The origins of COVID-19 Americans aren't interested in another WITCH HUNT against President Trump & his 74 million supporters.”

Waltz (R-FL-6) 01/06/2022: Retweet of @calxandr – β€œWith genocide in China; invasions & occupations of Ukraine & Afghanistan; brutal repression in Belarus & now Kazakhstan, we need to decide once & for all that dictators must never host Olympic Games. #BoycottBeijingOlympics #BoycottBeijing2022 #NoGenocideGames #NeverAgain Link to quoted tweet”
