Democrats are displeased over anti-Israel comments made by progressive-wing representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Axios reports.
According to the report, two incidents involving the Squad members irked Democrats, sparking both public and private condemnations.
Ocasio-Cortez appeared last week with left-wing influencer Hasan Piker on a Twitch stream and appeared to agree with Piker when he said Hamas’s October 7 massacre was a “direct consequence” of the Abraham Accords and the Trump administration’s decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem.
In a statement, Rep. Brad Schneider of Illinois says it’s “both ignorant and abhorrent to suggest that pursuing peace… either caused or justified Hamas’s barbaric attack on Oct. 7.”
