Progressive "Squad" Democrats are furious that their leaders have agreed to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress.
"Absolutely," Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., told Fox News Digital on Wednesday when asked if she was disappointed that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., agreed to sign onto the invitation.
"We should not be creating a platform and welcoming an accused war criminal," Pressley said. ...
"Not only is there very little purpose to it, but I think it is patently unproductive. I think it's counterproductive right now for him to address Congress, particularly as we continue to try to nail down details on the cease-fire," Ocasio-Cortez said Monday night. "I certainly do not approve of it, potentially may not attend."
