Déjà vu all over again.
Same process, different letter.
Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) is all atwitter that Israeli Prime Minister בנימין “ביבי” נתניהו was invited by the republican caucus to address Congress:
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
I welcome @netanyahu as he comes to speak to Congress. Why we need to hear him speak [….] 7:58 AM – 2 Mar 2015
What, the State of Israel doesn’t have a public relations apparatus and couldn’t place an opinion piece in a major American newspaper? Evidently the prime minister does use Twitter.
The responses:
Blue DuPage @BlueDuPage
Disgusting to see House Republicans conspire with foreign power against our President to provoke a new war. @RepHartzler @netanyahu 8:02 AM – 2 Mar 2015
Bob Yates @OldDrum
Why do members of Mossad disagree? @RepHartzler Netanyahu a ‘danger’ to Israel, 200 security veterans [….] 9:42 AM – 2 Mar 2015
Bob Yates @OldDrum
@RepHartzler If he calls for war with Iran, will you draft the articles of war? Will you raise taxes to pay for it? 9:44 AM – 2 Mar 2015
Pay for it? Don’t worry, it’ll be self financing…
