IN Rep. Andre Carson supports Hamas by his refusal to condemn them

Rep[ulsive] Andre Carson (D-IN) has been unable or unwilling to answer questions on Thursday asking if he agreed with Hamas being designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the State Department on October 8, 1997.

The 49-year-old Muslim was walking toward his vehicle with Jew hating antisemites Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI); Cori Bush, (D-MO); Ilhan Omar (D-MN); Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). Ro Khanna (D-CA) who isn't known to be an anti-semite but also not a genius, was also with the group. 

A reporter with the Daily Caller News Foundation approached Carson with a question.

"Congressman, do you agree with the State Department’s designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization," the reporter asked.

"Well, I certainly feel like now is the time for us to really talk about the establishment of a proper state for the people of Palestine," Carson said as he continued tap dancing toward his ride. "This cannot continue. These useless and destructive resolutions cannot continue to go on to gain political points. As I’ve said before, I condemn the attack on Oct. 7, but we cannot bully our way into this."

After continuing with his tap dance around the question, the reporter pressed Carson again, asking whether he agreed or disagreed with the State Department’s designation.

"I agree with the majority of the American people," Carson told the Daily Caller reporter. "I think that antisemitism needs to be condemned. I think that Islamophobia needs to be condemned. I certainly think anti-blackness needs to be condemned, and I certainly think that this is the time for us to look at our disagreements, look at the critiques on both sides, extract the truths from those critiques and work together toward a workable solution, because I fear in 2024, this issue will impact elections."

There you go--the answer that pro-Hamassholes love to give. Dilute, confuse, and spout moral equivalence and give an answer that skirts the question altogether.

Of course Hamas is a terrorist organization. My 3-year-old child knows the answer to that one and I don't even have a 3-year-old child.
