The House GOP has turned the Washington Democrat’s weekend comments — in which she called Israel a “racist state” — into a weeklong political boon, forcing the entire chamber to vote later Tuesday as a form of rebuke. Most Democrats are expected to back the Republican resolution that affirms support for Israel, as many of them remain quietly irked that Jayapal knocked the GOP’s drama out of the spotlight. Some even privately argue that her apology didn’t go far enough.

Rep. Jayapal can try to walk back her words all she wants, but everyone can see right through it.
She did not mis-speak. Her words were as clear as they were deplorable.
Israel is America’s friend. Friends deserve better.
@C1v1cDutyAria10mos10MO
she was referring to the Israeli Government and not the the people of Israel, you know the people of Israel who have been protesting every night against the Israeli government for months.

And while Israelis are distracted protesting Netanyahu for tearing up their Constitution he bulldozes Palestinian homes.

That’s all good and fair. What I don’t get is why is she not allowed to have her own opinion?
Does freedom of speech not apply?
