Democratic Wisconsin Congressman Mark Pocan, who is known for his intemperate posts on social media, is criticizing a colleague for speaking out against anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n

It all started because Republican Wisconsin Congressman Derrick Van Orden has been speaking out against Democratic members of Congress for their extreme reactions to the Hamas terrorist attacks, which have, in some cases, criticized Israel.<\/p>\n

Pocan wrote<\/a>, \u201cApologies for my ill-informed colleague from WI\u2026 He doesn\u2019t speak for us. @derrickvanorden\u2019s bigoted religious rhetoric is his own. Wisconsin is better than him.\u201d He also trashed Van Orden as not really being from Wisconsin when, actually, Van Orden lives on a farm <\/a>in the La Crosse area of Wisconsin. He and his wife opened a cafe<\/a> in Butternut, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that what the buffoonish Pocan labels \u201cbigoted religious rhetoric\u201d was Van Orden criticizing anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n

He was responding to a tweet that Van Orden wrote that said, \u201cThere is no place in congress for antisemites. This woman is supporting a terrorist organization under the guise of humanitarianism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Van Orden shared a story headlined, \u201cSquad Member Warns Biden He May Lose the Muslim Vote With Response to Iraq War: \u2018Be Careful.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Pocan has recently written posts critical of Israel\u2019s response to the terrorist attacks. \u201cIn @Israel\u2019s collective punishment of Gaza, 1000\u2019s more will be killed or made permanently homeless, due to the imbalance of power Israel holds over an open air prison like Gaza. Israel threatens their own future with this wholesale destruction. This is not targeting Hamas. \u262e\ufe0f\u201d he wrote. He also criticized Van Orden for visiting Israel and has called on President Biden to send more money to Gaza.<\/p>\n

Van Orden made the comments as continued reports of the Hamas\u2019 terrorists\u2019 atrocities against men, women, the elderly, and children continue to roll in. He has continued to criticize left-wing members of Congress who have taken the side of Palestinians after the terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n

Antisemitism = National Socialism. <\/p>\n

Resign, you NAZI sympathizer. https:\/\/t.co\/vs7Lvb8bMN<\/a><\/p>\n

Pocan has made a habit of trolling Van Orden on X.<\/p>\n

Indeed, left-wing media has been busy writing stories about Biden, essentially warning him that being too pro-Israel could cost him the presidential election by siphoning away Muslim votes. \u201cMuslim and Arab Voters Are Sending Biden a Stark Warning\u2014and He\u2019d Better Pay Attention,\u201d blared the Nation, in a similar story.<\/a><\/p>\n

Even NBC News got into <\/a>the game, writing, \u201cSome Muslim and Arab American voters warn that President Biden could lose their support over his support for Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
