The shocking brutality of the terrorist attack on Israel spawned a number of obscenely dumb takes with few more offensive than that of the Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin who blamed the savagery of Hamas on House Republicans.
The neocon propaganda princess has been a fixture at the once-venerable newspaper which has undergone a slow, sad decline from the days of Woodward and Bernstein to the current era of Philip Bump and Taylor Lorenz and she rarely passes up an opportunity to put her political spin on issues in the headlines.
“How about this: With US House in chaos and US military promotions on hold, Hamas struck. Republicans’ weakness invites terror,” Rubin wrote on X in a post that’s pinned to the top of her feed.

Rubin’s rush to capitalize on the ouster of former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and the current leadership void as GOP lawmakers hash out who his replacement will be is just more of the same water-carrying for President Joe Biden and his disastrous foreign policy that has made the world into a vastly more dangerous place, especially after his regime’s $6 billion gift to terror sponsor Iran.
The twisted blaming of Republican lawmakers for the barbarism of savages who slaughtered defenseless women and children and paraded around with the corpses of victims like they were trophies didn’t go unchecked as X users torched Rubin who invited it upon herself with her idiotic take.

Biden is the U.S. President who recently made a lopsided deal with Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, not the GOP members of Congress. Nice try.

Yeah, those young angry men half a world away were just waiting for our House of Representatives to be leaderless over a holiday weekend in order to take action.

Jennifer is a sociopathic monster who wants to step on the bodies of dead children to advance her generic boomerlib anti GOP hate. What a sad and empty woman. https://t.co/oy2SvdOTuz

That she is still employed by the Washington Post says a lot about the intelligence of their target readers. https://t.co/PaBpbWcfjL

If only Trump were in jail Hamas would have never launched this attack https://t.co/WOm5pPjY6Z

Sure, it has nothing to do with the $6 billion we gave Iran, the vegetable in the White House, or us wasting our money on Ukraine… https://t.co/CJfuWHu1GR

The Hamas leadership probably read about the discord within the Problem Solvers Caucus in the Washington Post and decided this was the moment to strike https://t.co/1MBoiSYpie

If you want to play the “who has made it easier on terrorists?” game, we can do that. But it is REALLY not going to work out for Mr. Gift-Afghanistan-to-the-Taliban, Mr. Let’s-Make-a-Deal-for-the-Merchant-of-Death, and Mr. Here’s-$6B-to-Free-Up-the-Other-$6B
All of them are Joe

Rubin’s ridiculous post actually says more about her employer than it does about her and that says it all about the sad state of the press in America today.
