At last, a conservative news aggregator that does not bow to the woke right.
In this NewsBusters article, Jorge Bonilla reports that CBS’s Margaret Brennan defended Rep. Ro Khanna’s West Bank incursion during an interview with Israeli Ambassador Michael Leiter, only to be strongly rebutted.
- Brennan questioned Leiter about Khanna’s detention by settlers and the IDF, asking if Israel should apologize and quoting Khanna’s “longshot presidential candidates” remark.
- Leiter condemned violence against journalists but noted Khanna coordinated with Palestinian activists and J Street instead of Israeli officials, ignoring suggestions to visit October 7 survivors and borders.
- Leiter called J Street an anti-Israel government group and suggested Khanna’s trip was a distraction from his support of Graham Platner.
- The ambassador highlighted Khanna’s known antipathy toward the Netanyahu government.
- Brennan attempted to interrupt and clarify but the exchange ended with Leiter questioning the optics of launching a presidential run from Israel.
