Nancy Pelosi gaslights Muslim voters abandoning Democrats over Gaza: "Death is sad" New York, New York -Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi lamented Arab American voters' shift away from the Democratic Party in a new interview released over a year into Israel's genocide in Gaza. In an interview broadcast Monday, CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour asked Pelosi about the significant number of Arab Americans, particularly in the swing state of Michigan, who have said they will not vote for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris due to her ongoing support for Israel. The Council on American-Islamic Relations last month released polling data showing Harris with just 12% of the Muslim vote in the Great Lakes State, while anti-genocide Green Party nominee Dr. Jill Stein pulled 40%. "Well, it is something to be considered," the former House Speaker responded before pivoting to the threat posed by Republicans. "When we talk about this subject, people forget, they forget a Muslim ban instituted by this president [Donald Trump]," she said. "Democrats flocked to their [Muslims'] protection, and yet this is what Donald Trump did." "Joe Biden has been a friend of Israel, that's for sure. But he's also been a friend of Palestinians," Pelosi claimed, citing Democratic efforts to secure humanitarian aid for the besieged and starved people of Gaza. "The fact that she [Kamala Harris] would be paying a price for policies that were very pro-Palestinian is very sad. But death is sad." Pelosi's comments come as growing numbers of Americans have joined the demand for an arms embargo on Israel – a move Harris says she does not support. With the aid of US weapons, Israel has killed at least 42,344 Palestinians in Gaza since last October, according to the territory's health ministry. The British medical journal Lancet and other experts believe the true number to be far greater, potentially upwards of 186,000 as of July. During her recent interview, Pelosi expressed support for a two-state solution in Israel and Palestine, although she acknowledged discussions have been underway for more than three decades without success. "I don't know if Netanyahu wants peace. I don't know if he's capable of peace. I don't know if he's afraid of peace. But he has gone off the course that we all thought we were in as we support Israel," Pelosi said. "And yet we all support Israel," she continued. "It is in our national interest, our security interest to do so, our values interest to do so over time. But right now, the leverage that we have given Netanyahu has been used in a way that's most destructive."
So, Trump essentially crafted his own medical reports and had doctors lend their signatures? At this point, the real surprise would be if he hadn't.

You trump supporters.complain she only.goes on CNN so she agrees to FoX and then call her desperate ... so now if she was ahead you wouldn't demand she goes on FOX? Cant keep up with the flip flopping. Either you want her to do conservative media or not....
So basically the MAGA narrative is... the upcoming Harris interview on Fox shows that she's scared, while Trump refusing to go in 60 minutes means that he's smart. Got it.
Gaza reaches to Georgia too.While Stein doesn't lead there Biden going from 70% of the Muslim vote tto 43% makes a difference when Trump only needs the Democrat to get 11,000 fewer votes.
Trump supporter? I voted Obama in 2008 and 2012,Clinton in 2016,Biden in 2020 and will be voting for Jill Stein in 2024.
American Muslims helped Biden win in 2020. Will they abandon him now? Arab and Muslim communities say they’ll ‘punish’ Biden even if it means Democrats lose in November. In 2020, Joe Biden won the state of Michigan by a much closer margin over then-incumbent President Donald Trump than the polls and pundits had predicted: just more than 150,000 votes. Two partly overlapping sets of voters helped tip Biden over the line in Michigan and other vital swing states, including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin: Muslim Americans and Arab Americans. Now, four years later, as Biden and Trump head towards a rematch in November, the current Democratic Party incumbent faces the mounting prospects of a backlash from those very same voters, many of whom are seeking to bleed his re-election bid. Growing outrage over Washington’s support for Israel in its unprecedented bombardment of Gaza is many prompting Arab-American and Muslim voters to declare that they intend to stay away from the polls. As the US continues military funding for Tel Aviv, the number of Palestinians killed in the war on Gaza has risen to nearly 30,000 since October 7, many of them children. In Michigan, where early primaries begin this week, one-time Biden voters have promised to send his administration a strong message by sabotaging the elections, even as the president’s aides have scrambled to meet and mend broken ties with community leaders. Which states are Arab-American voting strongholds? There are approximately 3.5 million Arab Americans according to the Arab American Institute, making up around 1 percent of the US population. About 65 percent are Christians, approximately 30 percent are Muslim, and a small number practise Judaism. While these groups tend to vote based on varying interests, “there’s almost unanimous consensus on the need for a Gaza ceasefire,” said Youssef Chouhoud, a race and religion researcher with Virginia’s Christopher Newmark University (CNU). Dearborn, Michigan, is home to the largest Arab-American community in the US — more than 40 percent of the city’s population. Georgia, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Virginia are also home to large Arab communities. At least three of those states – Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania — are going to be battleground swing states in November, where the difference in support for Democrats and Republicans is marginal, and small shifts could swing outcomes. Arab votes made the difference in the tight 2020 race. Biden pushed ahead of Trump by 154,000 votes in Michigan – credited majorly to the Arab-American community, which accounted for 5 percent of the vote. Michigan is home to an estimated 240,000 Arab Americans. In Georgia, Biden won by fewer than 12,000 votes. The state is home to more than 57,000 Arab Americans. However, soaring discontent in those communities means for the first time in 26 years, the Democratic Party is no longer a choice for many Arab voters, whether Christian or Muslim. Biden’s approval ratings among American Arabs went from 59 percent in 2020 to 17 percent in 2023.
