Sen. Kennedy Lights Up Biden for His 'Naivete and Weakness' That Has Helped Set World on Fire

One of the reasons we see so much chaos now in the world including the invasion of Ukraine and the attack on Israel is that the weakness of Joe Biden has emboldened bad actors.

Kennedy was asked about how Hamas wants a permanent battle with Israel, and he just let loose on Hamas, the Hamas-supporting college kids, and the weakness of the Biden administration. 


Kennedy said there was no justification in the world for what Hamas did  "burning babies alive, slitting their throats, all the while yelling for joy." 

"Spare me the retort that we often hear, 'But these people are oppressed,'"  he said. He added that all the college kids and faculty who believed in the "right to kill Jews...ought to be ashamed of themselves." 

"Part of the reason we find ourselves in a world on fire in Ukraine, in the Indo-Pacific, and now in the Middle East is because of our naïveté and our weakness, and more specifically, the naïveté and the weakness of the Biden administration," Kennedy declared. 

He then ripped into how the Biden team seems to have given Qatar a pass. 

We're playing footsie, and we have for years with Qatar. Qatar does provide the electricity for Gaza. In effect, they give it to Hamas and the Biden administration allows it. The Biden administration allows billionaires to live in Qatar and not just from Hamas, but also from ISIS. The Biden administration sends a message of weakness when it refuses to enforce the oil sanctions on Iran, when it cut and ran in Afghanistan, when it removed the sanctions on Russia's Nord Stream II pipeline, when it gave Iran $4.5 billion in cash from the International Monetary Fund. And I could go on.

Just like they played footsie with Iran, cutting loose all kinds of money to them, while they're still chanting, "Death to America." 

Then he really laid Biden out. 

President Biden and his team think while we're in the middle of a bar fight or a prison riot, they want to quote Socrates and read Beowulf and think if we're just nice guys, that we can be partners with Iran and we can't. We have to wipe Hamas off the face of the earth.

Biden has the same problem the Obama folks had — perhaps because it's the same folks: They don't know how to react with strength. Which then only invites attack. And then the response to the attack is also weak, which only makes things worse. We were attacked more than 40 times by Iranian proxies with at least 45 Americans injured before we got any real response from the Biden team, with a strike on an IRGC-related facility in Syria, and it's not clear if that took out anyone of importance. 

What do they think that says to Iran? You don't have to go to war, but you do have to respond with clarity. But the Biden team has messed up in so many arenas, that no one takes them seriously. And that's a danger to this country and our people.
