Ceasefire Crusaders In Congress Go Silent After Trump Actually Gets One

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Many of the lawmakers who demanded a ceasefire in Gaza over the past two years have fallen silent after President Donald Trump secured one between Israel and Hamas on Wednesday.

Just ten days after Hamas terrorists stormed into Israel, killing civilians and taking both Israelis and Americans hostage, Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib blasted then-President Joe Biden, saying, “This is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire and help de-escalate,” referring to Palestinian deaths in an Israeli retaliatory strike.

Now that Trump has negotiated a deal securing the release of the remaining hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli forces, Tlaib has had nothing to say about the sitting president.

Democratic Illinois Rep. Delia Ramirez, who in March joined colleagues outside the Capitol to call for “a ceasefire and an end to Netanyahu’s campaign to ethnically cleanse Gaza,” has also stayed quiet on what amounts to a major step toward her stated goal — the return of the hostages and the “safety, freedom, and self-determination” of the Palestinian people.

Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal issued a statement Tuesday marking the two-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.

“In the two years since, we have also seen that revenge never brings peace, and war only brings more war,” Jayapal said, referring to what she called the “genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza by the Israeli Government.”

She ended her statement with a call for an “immediate and permanent ceasefire,” but has not commented since Trump announced the deal Wednesday — though she has spoken publicly to blame Republicans for the ongoing government shutdown.

“President Trump needs to quit his bombastic rhetoric and work to return Israel and Hamas to the negotiating table to restore the ceasefire so that the violence will cease and the remaining hostages can be returned home safely,” Democratic Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum said in March.

She has not released a statement since such a deal was reached.

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, another frequent voice calling for a ceasefire, has also stayed silent.

Democratic Pennsylvania Rep. Madeleine Dean shared a video Tuesday remembering Hamas’ “brutal and barbaric assault on Israel” and said she prayed that peace talks centered on the president’s 20-point plan would bring about a ceasefire, the return of the hostages, and humanitarian relief for Gaza.

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar — one of the most outspoken supporters of the Palestinian cause in Congress — responded to the news by saying, “For the sake of humanity, let’s hope this will be a lasting and permanent ceasefire. While this is a hopeful step, we must demand accountability for every war crime committed during this genocide and continue to call for an end to the occupation.”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called Trump’s deal a “very positive step in the right direction,” adding, “We’re all hopeful that this agreement will be finalized, that the hostages will be released in a matter of days and returned home to their loved ones.”

The offices of the lawmakers did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller’s request for comment.

Dem Rep Pramila Jayapal Says Trump ‘Incited An Erection’

By: Ilan Hulkower, January 10, 2024 12:33 PM ET

Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington made a faux pas by saying that former president Donald Trump “incited an erection” during a formal hearing Wednesday.

The gaffe was made in response to Republican Rep. Dan Bishop of North Carolina’s rebuke of Hunter Biden’s refusal to testify before Congress and claim that this defiance of a Congressional order “requires us to act.” Jayapal then was called on by the House and said, “While I appreciate the passion from my friend across the aisle [Rep. Bishop] and the outrage, I think we are all outraged about many things. But if we are going to talk about outrageous things that have happened and/or things that have never happened, let’s talk about the fact that President Trump incited an erection.”
Jayapal immediately realized the slip-up and laughed about it. “Maybe that too,” she joked. Bishop joined in and said, “You can talk about that too, I guess.” She then corrected her statement to “the president incited an insurrection.” She then mentioned that Trump was impeached twice as cause for outrage.

“President Trump did WHAT? Never a dull day here in the House ..,” Bishop tweeted of the gaffe.

The hearing in Congress where these remarks were made referenced the subject of whether to hold Hunter Biden, the scandal-plagued son of President Joe Biden, in contempt of Congress for his refusal to testify before Congress despite a subpoena. Hunter Biden briefly made a surprise appearance during a committee hearing Wednesday.
