🇺🇸 Former Obama deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes called House Democrats’ elevation of Jared Moskowitz to the top Democratic position on the Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee “a giant fuck you from Democratic leadership to Democratic voters,” adding: “This is not subtle.”
Rhodes questioned how House Foreign Affairs ranking member Gregory Meeks could claim to oppose the war with Iran while appointing “one of the only Dems who supported the war” to lead the subcommittee responsible for overseeing it.
In a separate post, Rhodes argued the appointments reveal how Democrats intend to govern — with disregard for war crimes and voter concerns.
Translation: a giant fuck you from Democratic leadership to Democratic voters.
