Democrats Suddenly Betray Biden over 1 Evil Move – Join GOP in Passing Landmark Bill

Democrats rarely speak out against their own leaders. Much less a Democrat president. But from all appearances, Joe Biden is a failed president. His agenda has crashed and burned and the polls show him losing to Donald Trump.

And there have been more than one occasion where Democrats outright opposed one of Biden’s decisions.

Recently, Biden made a move that shocked millions of Americans. Not only is this a contradiction of his own agenda, but it upended decades of U.S. policy. House Republicans put forward a bill to rebuke Biden for doing this. And Democrats were on hand to join them.

From Fox News:
Several House Democrats defied the White House to support a bill rebuking President Biden for withholding offensive aid from Israel on Thursday.

The Israel Security Assistance Support Act would condemn the president’s posture on Israel’s Gaza invasion while compelling the Biden administration to expeditiously send any weapons shipments already approved by Congress.

It passed in a 224 to 187 vote, with 16 Democrats joining 208 Republicans in advancing the bill. Democrats who supported it include Reps. Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y.; Darren Soto, D-Fla.; Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y.; Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash.; and Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, among others.

The House passed a bill that condemns Biden’s withholding of weapons to Israel. After demanding hundreds of billions of dollars for an endless war in Ukraine, Biden is refusing to provide our longstanding ally with weapons. This comes as Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas are trying to destroy the Jewish nation.

Sixteen Democrats supported the bill, defying Biden’s policy and condemning his actions. The bill will withhold funding from the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, and the National Security Council if there are further delays in aid to Israel.

It is not clear why Biden is turning on Israel. He has wrongly accused them of mistreating civilians in Gaza—citing data that has been debunked by the UN. Biden is likely trying to win back progressives, who are spreading anti-Israel and antisemitic hate.

Biden fears losing progressive voters, with an election in just a few months. Polls suggest he is at risk of losing needed swing states. If he can’t hold onto far-left Democrats, he will have no chance of winning reelection.

Yet Biden is risking upsetting millions of moderates by turning on a longstanding ally like Israel. Many Jewish Americans are outraged by Biden’s weakness in the face of a growing threat. By trying to win over radical leftists, Biden is both losing most Americans and jeopardizing Israel’s existence.

Key Takeaways:

  • House Democrats voted with Republicans for a bill condemning Joe Biden.
  • The bill targets Biden’s decision to withhold aid from Israel.
  • Biden has seemingly betrayed Israel to placate radical, progressive voters.
