It’s interesting to see how our irrelevant congresswoman interprets events in the US completely differently than her constituents.
She stated that: “I just want to mention this because it was stunning yesterday to see over 100 Democrats vote to defund Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East,” she said. “And many of them are members of Congress, including [Rep.] Nancy Pelosi [, D-Calif.], who have always been supporters of Israel.”
Maybe they aren’t “defunding” an ally, maybe they are trying to limit the US involvement in the war crimes being committed by Netanyahu. The International Criminal Court has the following listed as charges against him:
“Allegedly responsible for the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024.”
She also stated: “Killing Trump just incites a lot of the base,” she said. “I have people talking about killing Trump up in upstate New York.”
Tenney said activists involved in the “No Kings” and “resist” movements have embraced increasingly inflammatory rhetoric.
“These people are thriving on this kind of thing,” she said. “They have normalized this kind of rhetoric and behavior, sadly, and it’s unfortunate that we’re seeing this in the United States as well.”
This is interesting because I have been to many local protests and never once have I seen a sign or chant indicating anyone wants the President dead. This administration likes to use “dog whistle” language to indicate something they don’t like is radical or threatening. They say “8647” means the “Left” wants to kill the President. That is ridiculous. It is an expression meaning to get rid of something, like in a restaurant.
Now the people in the Administration and Claudia Tenney should be more concerned on where the threatening chatter and innuendo comes from, like the President. He has called for violence to people he does not like. He has praised the Proud Boys and Kyle Rittenhouse. He incited January 6, then pardoned anyone who was convicted.
Claudia Tenney was all for destroying small boats in the Caribbean without due process. She is all for the destruction of infrastructure in Iran, even if that means committing war crimes.
The only people I see spiraling into violence are Congresswoman Tenney and this administration. Maybe she should look in the mirror at who is really pushing the violence.

I just hope you’re on that dang bridge in Oswego protesting the little 2 year old who was ra*ed and murdered by an ILLEGAL today in Virginia. Or the 3 motel workers shot to death by an ILLEGAL (oh, wait, how did he get a gun?). Did you protest the 10 MILLION that Biden let in? Or the Somali’s that took over Minnesota who were let in under Obama?
When you have people like Pelosi and Waters openly calling for the democrats to attack the Republicans if they see them in a gas station or diner, you wonder why we’re being attacked? Kyle was being trampled by 3 huge men, one of which tried to bash his head in with a skateboard. And, yes, many of the “left” have openly called for Trump to be killed. How about Madonna wanting to “blow up the White House”? Or Johnny Depp wondering when the last time a president was killed by an actor? Maybe even setting fire to Tesla dealers….amazing how Elon was their golden boy for climate change but when he endorsed Trump he became vilified. There’s numerous instances of other actions against our side. At least we can hold a conversation without calling everyone on the opposing side Nazi’s.
