‘REPREHENSIBLE’: Pramila Jayapal RIPPED For Totally Unhinged Comments
Republican Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) has strongly condemned the recent atrocities committed by Hamas, including the gang rape of innocents in Israel on October 7th. His comments come amidst a broader controversy involving Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), who has been criticized across the political spectrum for her remarks on the same issue.
In a recent interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Jayapal was questioned about the silence of “progressive women” on the sexual violence committed by Hamas. Jayapal’s response, which included a call for a “balanced” approach to condemning such acts, has sparked outrage and criticism from various political figures and commentators, including left-wing advocates and prominent Democrats.
Rape is a war crime & one of the most despicable human acts.
On 10/7, barbaric Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel & gang-raped innocents.
This is reprehensible & worthy of maximum condemnation.
Yet, Jayapal calls for a "balanced approach" to rape & targeted violence v. women. pic.twitter.com/djhKEIJ36W

Christine Pelosi, daughter of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, was among those who criticized Jayapal, saying that sexual assault should not be minimized or “balanced.” Fox News anchor Jessica Tarlov described Jayapal’s comments as “beyond f*cked up.”
I should not have to say this in 2023 but here we are: RAPE IS RAPE.
Do not minimize, excuse, “balance” or “both sides” sexual assault – that is victim blaming we have spent decades trying to undo in the laws, the courts and the hearts and minds of the people. #WeSaidEnough

Recent reports and investigations have uncovered a deeply troubling pattern of sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas, predominantly targeting Israeli women and girls.
It was reported that Hamas deliberately broke a humanitarian truce to evade releasing Israeli women who had suffered through rape and other forms of violence while under their control. The multitude of testimonies exposed the broad scale of Hamas’ systematic campaign of rape against Israel.
REACTIONS:
Rep. Pramila Jayapal is an absolute monster who loathes Israel & Jews.
She repeatedly & falsely accuses Israel of "indiscriminately" targeting civilians & hospitals.

Pramila Jayapal just shamelessly tried to normalize Hamas raping women and killing children.
She said it’s part of war and then blamed Israel.
Antisemites like her have no place in Congress or the US.
Jayapal should be deported to the Middle East.pic.twitter.com/54PRQtF1iI
