Israel - Palestine

Bacon (R-NE-2) 07/25/2022: Tweet – โ€œThank you to John Sieler for inviting me to speak at the Pachyderm luncheon today! I heard from #NE02 voters on inflation, gas prices, the border crisis, the threats from Russia and China, defending Israel, and the funding I helped secure to modernize Eppley Airfield.

Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL-20) 07/25/2022: Tweet – โ€œWhat a delight! It was a pleasure to discuss strengthening our alliance.

Deutch (D-FL-22) 07/25/2022: Twitter thread – โ€œIran's announcement today that it will not turn on the IAEA's monitoring cameras until a nuclear deal is revived is extremely worrying & underscores my deep concern about how any nuclear deal with Iran can be verifiable and enforceable. This decision is particularly egregious after DG Grossi described Iran's nuclear program as "galloping ahead" & said in June that the IAEA would lose its understanding of the state of Iran's program if the cameras weren't restored in 3 or 4 weeks, a window that has since passed. Moreover, Iran also just declared that it will not answer the IAEA's outstanding questions about uranium particles found at undeclared nuclear sites in Iran, directly contradicting the censure resolution that was overwhelmingly passed by the IAEA Board of Governors last month. These announcements reflect Iran's dangerously escalatory nuclear behavior. I'm glad the US commitment to ensure that Iran will never acquire a nuclear weapon was strengthened by the Jerusalem Declaration & I urge continued action w/partners to ensure this commitment is realized.โ€

Greene (R-GA-14) 07/26/2022: Twitter thread – โ€œRachel Maddow is smearing me with lies about my faith and love for America and trying to connect me to someone I've never heard of or know anything about. In reality, being a Christian means I acknowledge I'm a sinner and my savior is a Jewish man named Jesus who I believe.. 1/7 Link to quoted tweetGiven the history of "Christian nationalism" in the U.S. you'd think Republicans would be reluctant to be associated with it. But that is not the case for the Trumpiest Republicans, particularly the Republican nominee for governor of Pennsylvania, Doug Mastriano. (Link to twitter.com) is the son of God. I also believe God's word in the Bible, which is about the people of Israel and the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Bible is filled with amazing and miraculous history, and I love it. Cont'd The godless lying left has been lying about me from day one and calling me anti-semitic, racist, fascist, and even a Nazi, which are all absolutely disgusting lies about me. But their problem is that most people see through their lies bc their empty words don't match the truth. Yes I'm a Christian. I'm not perfect, I'm a sinner, and I know I can't ever be perfect enough to go to heaven based on my acts alone. I need a savior and his name is Jesus. Jesus says to love God and love people. I'm also elected by Americans in Georgia's 14th district to serve as their Representative in Congress. I love my country and I'm grateful to serve the people who elected me, who are American citizens like me. The conspiracy theories being told by the lying godless left are just desperate lies by people who know they are losing bc their policies are really policies of hate and failure to Americans. Another reason they lie about me is they recognize my tenacity and know I'm resolved in my faith & my commitment to America. They can't beat me bc most Americans actually think a lot of the ways I do. Hopefully, this helps some of you that are brainwashed by liars like Rachel Maddow who by the way has never met me in her entire life and gets paid to lie about me by her hard left employers at MSNBC. What a pitiful way to earn a paycheck.โ€

Hill (R-AR-2) 07/25/2022: Tweet – โ€œFirst, the Biden admin sent oil from our reserves to China. Then, Biden burned more oil begging Saudi Arabia for oil than he got out of the trip.

Iraq

Khanna (D-CA-17) 07/26/2022: In reply to TweetTwo years ago Ro Khanna was co-chairing the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, and was not only a leading opponent of arming Ukraine, but reckless US interventionism more broadly. Now look at him: done a total 180 (Link to twitter.com) – โ€œ@mtracey I have opposed the war in Iraq since my 2003 run, in Yemen, the endless war in Afghanistan, in Libya. The way to avoid war with China is to rebalance production, bring our industrial base back, and reduce long term trade deficits. Link to reply@RoKhanna What does that have to do with you mounting a quasi-jingoistic defense of Nancy Pelosi's symbolic gesture to antagonize the Chinese Communists? @mtracey Standing up for economic and cultural ties to Taiwan while recognizing One China and insisting on reducing trade deficits and rebalancing trade will avoid war. Trade deficits were one of the causes of the Opium war where the colonizers were wrong. But we need to rebalance trade.โ€

Garcia (R-CA-25) 07/25/2022: Tweet – โ€œBrought to you by the folks that said inflation is transitory and Afghanistan was a success. Now a recession is not a recession. But instead it's a good thing. The administration's lying is surpassed only by its economic illiteracy. Link to videoโ€
