Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not call Democrats “useful idiots” in his recent speech before Congress, despite what some Democrats believed. In his speech, Netanyahu criticized Iranian-backed anti-Israeli, pro-Palestinian protesters who disrupted his appearance in Washington. He referred to these protesters as “Iran’s useful idiots” due to their actions.
Netanyahu’s comments were not directed at the delegates of the Democrat Party convention, although they were referenced. These delegates, who were originally committed to Joe Biden, have now been instructed to support Kamala Harris’ presidential candidacy, despite her not running in the primaries. This has been seen as undemocratic and dictatorial behavior by the Democrat Party bosses.
The unprecedented shift in support from Biden to Harris has raised concerns about the integrity of the democratic process within the Democrat Party. The way in which Harris is being nominated and coronated without receiving a single primary vote has sparked controversy.
While Democrats claim they are “saving our democracy” by supporting Harris, some critics argue that this process is undermining democratic principles. The political maneuvering that led to Biden’s withdrawal and Harris’ nomination has raised questions about the fairness and transparency of the party’s nominating process.
Overall, the transition from Biden to Harris has been seen as a strategic move by party leaders to secure a nominee they believe is more electable. However, the manner in which this transition has been carried out has sparked debate within the party and among political commentators.
