'They preach hate': Ex-White House reporter compares GOP leadership to Hamas

Republican leaders in the House are a lot like Hamas, a former White House reporter argued on Saturday.

Journalist Brian Karem argued last month that members of the press have been "moral cowards" by not properly covering ex-president Donald Trump, who Karem says is "a fraud, a cheat and a rapist, facing 91 felony counts." Now, Karem is taking the fight directly to the GOP.

Karem noted that the former president was overshadowed by Hamas and its attacks on Israel, and called Jim Jordan, the would-be House speaker, a "political termite."

"Jim Jordan, at one time considered the 'Man Who Would Be King' in the House of Representatives, is now merely a political termite," the reporter wrote. "He’s good at chewing away at the place if you want to bring it all down, but he can’t build a consensus among three people, even if they all agree with him."

Karem continues:

"That may explain why by midweek, for the first time in a very long time, Donald Trump and the rest of the idiots in the GOP did not dominate the news. The reality of thousands dying in the Middle East overshadows the sideshow barker who complains that he had every right to keep classified information, while at the same time claiming he didn’t have it."

Karem adds that, unfortunately, "the world is run by older men who would not abandon their own peace, but are eager to urge younger men and women to do so."

"They are terrorists like the leaders of Hamas. They are despots like Vladimir Putin. They are men like Donald Trump, who has never gone without a meal or lacked the social lubricant of money his entire life, and yet has convinced millions he is the answer to all our problems," the journalist wrote.
