I reached out to spokespeople for all 22 Democrats Monday morning with a simple inquiry: I wanted to know if they planned to make a statement or take any sort of action—like a censure—against Rep. Walberg for his call for the destruction of Gaza.
Only three offices responded.
“Deranged and depraved,” Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York said through his press secretary, which was surprising given Torres’ aggressive and unapologeticsupport for Israel. (He’s literally in Israel right now.) I followed up, pointing out Torres’ vote to censure Tlaib and asking if he thought Rep. Walberg’s comments were on the same level. His press secretary said yes. When I pressed further, asking if Torres planned to call for a vote to censure, I received no reply.
What do you mean by this?
My guess is a reference to the novel by Upton Sinclair called The Jungle.
He means ‘waaaaaa! waaaaaa! Not everyone believes exactly the same things I do!’ It’s petulant whinging from someone totally detached from reality.
They think the few things they’ve heard of are the worst things ever because they have no real concept of anything else.
