It's not often that we agree with White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre, but her recent comments toward certain members of her own party -- which notably did not include the reliably liberal Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) -- were right on the money.
According to Breitbart, KJP scolded radical members of her party for "equivocating between Israel and Palestinian Hamas terrorists," and called the comments, which came from politicians and even some prominent university student groups, "repugnant." Booker, however, took pains to "emphatically" condemn the attacks almost immediately after they occurred.
KJP's words are notable, given that she, in the past, has made radical, left-wing remarks about Israel.
When asked by reporters what the White House's response to the various, nasty comments was, she held nothing back.
"We believe they’re wrong, we believe they’re repugnant, and we believe they’re disgraceful. Our condemnation belongs suqarely with the terrorists who have brutally murdered, raped, and kidnapped hundreds, hundreds of Israelis," KJP responded.
She added, "There can be no equivocation about that. There are not two sides here. There are not two sides. President Biden has been clear on where he has stood."
While she didn't name them directly, KJP's remarks, according to many, were directed at some members of the "the Squad," most of whom are anti-Israel in some shape or form. Some more than others.

Breitbart noted:
As Breitbart News has reported, several left-wing Democrats, including members of the so-called “Squad,” issued statements in response to last weekend’s massive Hamas terror attack that called for “immediate ceasefire & de-escalation” and blamed Israel for Palestinian civilian casualties.
Though he was criticized for being late to the party, as he usually is, Biden made a speech on the Hamas-led attack on innocent Israeli citizens.
In my 50 years, I have never been more proud to be an American. President Biden's remarkable speech moments ago will go down in history as one of his best ever and the most impactful support of Israel’s right to defend itself “decisively and overwhelming” against those bent on… pic.twitter.com/2465k1zm5G

The United States government has remained firm that Israel has a right to protect itself and retaliate against the savages who make up the ranks of the Hamas terrorist organization.
So far, Israel has carried out thousands of air strikes on strategic targets in the Gaza Strip.
A massive ground-based invasion of IDF forces into Gaza is expected imminently.
