NEWT:
Oh, I think that’s true. And I think that the leadership is probably frightened of them. And I think that, again, you know, the Democratic Party is led from the left. It’s intimidated by the left. But you have nine or ten members, as I indicated, in that New York Sun article that are just totally pro-terrorist. And you had the classic example yesterday were Talib was attacking Congresswoman Talib was attacking Israel for attacking the hospital, which Israel did not do. I’m hoping somebody will go up to her today and say, are you willing to say the same things about Islamic Jihad? Now, the you know, it was an Islamic Jihad rocket that was killing people at that hospital. And my bet is she won’t answer that. She will not condemn Islamic Jihad. None of them have condemned the killing of babies. None of them have condemned the raping of women. None of them have condemned taking grandmothers hostage. These people are pro-terrorist and that’s what they should be called. There’s no question in my mind that AOC and Ilhan and Talib and their friends are just plain pro-terrorist members. The House ought to censure them. And the American tradition, they should face an opponent in the primary because they’re in very Democratic districts. You probably can’t beat them in a general election, but you could beat them in a primary.
NEWT:
I have no idea about what they said to them directly. It was embarrassing to watch the Democratic House leader yesterday say, well, gee, I haven’t read the tweets. I haven’t read the transcript. That’s just plain baloney. It’s very clear. Was on television, is in the newspapers. They are. The Democratic caucus is afraid to stand up against terrorists. It’s afraid to be pro-Israel and it’s interesting to see how many votes they get against any kind of aid package for Israel. And I think that just tells you how much the Democratic Party has decayed from the period where it was very pro-Israeli to a point where it has a very large pro-terrorist faction.
NEWT:
Well, look, on the left, wing of the Democratic Party anti-Semitism and the desire to destroy Israel is now a dominant real factor. And I think that people need to recognize that the left is deeply opposed to democracy. They’re deeply opposed to the survival of Israel. And I think that’s part of a general pattern on the left. And I think that you see this with these huge demonstrations, and it’s going to raise real questions. I was glad to see the House Republicans beginning to talk about hearings on whether or not to take away the tax deductible status of places like Harvard and University of Pennsylvania and Yale. Harvard has 40 plus billion dollars billion in their endowment, and I think that has to be looked at. And you have to look also where the money comes from, because the universities won’t tell you.
NEWT:
Well, listen, I think the whole conference is. But they’re going to have to get in a room I saw just a few minutes ago. Jim Jordan has decided to go back and try again because it turned out what I thought was a good idea to have McHenry, the current speaker pro tem, stay until January 3rd. I mean, these folks have got to calm down, the level of anger, the level of hostility in the conference, all of it started by eight traitors. And that’s what they were, traitors who abandoned their party and allied with the Democrats against 96% of the Republican Party with no idea what they would do if they won. They have caused chaos. They have embarrassed the Republican Party and they’ve weakened the United States at a time when there are two major wars under way. And it’s really truly, I think, the most disgraceful behavior by Republicans in my lifetime.
