President Biden told a Democratic lawmaker and members of his Cabinet after the State of the Union address that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that they will need to have a “come-to-Jesus meeting.”

Biden’s comments, captured on a hot mic as he spoke with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) on the floor of the House chamber, came after Bennet congratulated the commander in chief on his speech and pressed him to keep pressure on Netanyahu over increasing humanitarian issues in Gaza.

    Yup, we’d sure as hell have boots on the ground delivering aide if it was Bernie in office, but it seems like Biden is reading the writing on the wall.

      Yeah it’s too bad it took him 30000 dead brown people to start to maybe consider maybe asking Netanyahu to tone it down a little. So progressive

      Edit: You know what, for the sake of clarity, it wasn’t the dead brown people that made him reconsider, it was the fact that it might cost him some votes in Michigan.

        Well let’s be fair - he doesn’t give a shit about Michigan - he doesn’t want to be remembered as a one term president.
