Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer threw Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under the bus on Thursday, as he delivered a brazen speech on the Senate floor and claimed it was time for new elections in Israel.
“The world has changed — radically — since [October 7], and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past,” Schumer raged in his speech.
“As a lifelong supporter of Israel, it has become clear to me: The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after October 7,” Schumer claimed.
Schumer was hotly condemned by Republicans over his speech, with many noting it was inappropriate and election interference.
But on Friday, Joe Biden PRAISED Schumer for the shocking speech.
From Politico:
President Joe Biden on Friday praised Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s call for Israeli elections and his sharp criticism of that nation’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Schumer, the highest ranking Jewish elected official in U.S. history, delivered a ringing rebuke to Netanyahu from the Senate floor on Thursday, declaring that the prime minister’s management of the war in Gaza showed he had “lost his way.”
Biden, when responding to a reporter’s question, declared that Schumer “made a good speech, and I think he expressed serious concern shared not only by him, but by many Americans.”
Biden said Schumer contacted his “senior staff” before delivering the speech from the Senate floor.
After Biden praised Schumer for bashing Netanyahu, reporters tried to ask more questions, but Biden’s aides immediately jumped into action, yelling at the press to get out of the room, while Biden sat there and smirked.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) blasted both Biden and Schumer, in a social media post. He wrote:
The Biden-Schumer wrecking ball continues on foreign policy. With President Biden’s approval, Senator Schumer called for the dissolution of the democratically-elected government of Israel while refusing to support legislation declaring Putin’s autocracy a state sponsor of terrorism.
I wish President Biden and Senator Schumer were as tough on Putin – who just murdered Navalny – as they are on Israel’s democracy – who fights for its very survival.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) wrote, “Most disgusting about Chuck Schumer disgraceful election interference speech to Israel was that neither he nor Biden demands release of Hamas held hostages which includes US citizens. He let us know priorities for Democrats are and it isn’t us! Shame on Schumer!”
