Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., blasted President Joe Biden and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., for not denouncing the anti-Israel comments made by members of the Squad linking Israel to an apartheid state.
Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Cori Bush, D-Mo., both used "apartheid" over the weekend in defending the terrorist group Hamas' incursion on Israel and subsequent massacre of hundreds of civilians, including women and babies.
"And if you watched Tlaib, Tlaib said, our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government. The cycle of violence will continue, saying America caused this because we stand with Israel," McCarthy said on "The Guy Benson Show." "The sad part here is, Biden didn't denounce that. Hakeem Jeffries hasn't denounced that," McCarthy said.
"I've seen some of those statements this weekend, and we're going to continue to be very clear – we believe they're wrong, we believe they're repugnant, and we believe they're disgraceful," Jean-Pierre said during Tuesday's White House press briefing.
