Once again, Representative Glenn Thompson uses his newsletter to peddle misinformation about the current administration. He also manages to highlight his hypocrisy.
This time, he is blaming Biden and Harris for the recent deaths of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas in October.
In his latest newsletter, Thompson claims that "The cowardly actions of the Biden-Harris administration has (sic) empowered terrorists and cast doubt in the minds of our allies."
What "cowardly actions" is he talking about? What doubts?
President Biden and Vice President Harris have repeatedly reiterated their commitment to Israel and have worked steadfast and tirelessly for a ceasefire and the return of all hostages. They have maintained that support even as Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has complicated their task by changing his ceasefire terms.
In his singular criticism of Biden and Harris, Thompson also shows that he cares more about party than country. He fails to call out many of his own Republican colleagues who do not support Israel. In fact, Senator JD Vance, the Republican candidate for Vice President, voted AGAINST a bill to provide foreign aid to Israel. What about Vance's "cowardly actions"?
Constituents of Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District are fed up with a Representative who refuses to tell the truth -- or hold all elected officials, regardless of party, to the same standard.
Thompson's taxpayer-funded "newsletter" is not helpful. It's not leadership. It's petty, unproductive red meat and voters are fed up with it. We deserve better.
