Led by their Dear Leader Donald Trump, many in the GOP and their aligned right-wing media rushed to assign responsibility for the Hamas savagery to Biden, dishonestly and grotesquely accusing him of financing the barbarism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=58254\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s \u2018Blame America First\u2019 MAGA GOP Aims Their Fire at Biden Rather than Hamas Terrorists<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday morning, Fox News host Emily Compagno joined the <em>&#8220;Blame America First&#8221;<\/em> brigade. In a thoroughly untruthful tirade, she lashed out at Biden, saying that he <em>&#8220;has set the tone for a lack of response.&#8221;<\/em> Whereupon she imparted almost verbatim part of an article published in <em>&#8220;Foreign Policy.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Fox host blames Biden for a \u201clack of Senate confirmed elected officials\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jlAUQGpnMl\">pic.twitter.com\/jlAUQGpnMl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1711779734843961681?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 10, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Note that Compagno is upset about the <em>\u201clack of Senate confirmed elected officials.\u201d<\/em> But, of course, Senate confirmed officials are not elected, and elected officials are not Senate confirmed. Then she gave her edited version of what the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2023\/10\/09\/theres-no-american-ambassador-in-israel\/?tpcc=recirc_latest062921\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">actual article<\/a><\/strong> said. Which was&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;At the time of the deadly Hamas attack on Israel, Washington\u2019s closest ally in the Middle East, the United States had no confirmed ambassadors to Israel, Egypt, Oman, or Kuwait. The State Department\u2019s top counterterrorism envoy position has sat empty for more than two years, the top human rights envoy position\u2014the assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights, and labor\u2014has been unfilled for the entirety of the Biden administration, and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has not had a top Middle East official in nearly three years.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Compagno deliberately left out the paragraphs that followed the part she robotically recited. The article went on to say that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The mostly empty bench is due to a nearly broken Senate confirmation process, where nominees have languished in limbo for months or even years due to the &#8216;new normal&#8217; practice of Republican senators placing sweeping holds on all nominees for different agencies over policy disputes with the administration. On the Pentagon side, hundreds of senior military posts are on indefinite pause due to Sen. Tommy Tuberville\u2019s blanket hold on nominees over the Biden administration\u2019s abortion access policies for the military\u2014including senior officials at U.S. Central Command, which oversees the Middle East. At the State Department, Republican Sen. Rand Paul has held numerous nominees over access to documents on the origins of COVID-19, while fellow Republican Sens. J.D. Vance and Ted Cruz have also previously issued holds.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So what Compagno omitted were merely the facts that revealed that it wasn&#8217;t Biden who <em>&#8220;set the tone for a lack of response.&#8221;<\/em> It was the Republicans in Congress who worked to purposefully sabotage the Biden administration, and therefore America and its allies, by hamstringing its ability conduct critical national security affairs.<\/p>\n<p>This is business as usual for both Republicans and Fox News. They have always cared more about trying to cripple their political opponents, and advancing their own hunger for power, than about the welfare of the nation or the world. It&#8217;s an obsession for totalitarian control that has driven the right for decades. And Trump is just the most recent personification of their fantasy strongman\/dictator.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the right&#8217;s determined efforts to impede the goals of Biden and America, the President has performed remarkably well. He successfully brought together our allies in support of Israel. And that success was notice by the Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, who told NBC News that <em>&#8220;Right now we are grateful to President Biden and his administration. I think they are helping us a lot.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Israeli ambassador to the UN: Right now we are grateful to President Biden and his administration.
