Joe Biden Tells Netanyahu To Go Eff Himself, Will Travel Instead Of Attending Speech To Congress
Vice President Joe Biden has officially responded to an invitation to attend Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress, and it’s a giant middle finger.
A day after President Obama delivered the State of the Union Address, House Speaker John Boehner invited the Israeli Prime Minister to the United States to speak to a joint session of Congress. You know, because Republicans can’t make up their minds about whether they want to follow Netanyahu or Vladamir Putin as their true leader.
Anyway, Boehner and his Republican co-conspirators made the invitation in violation of established protocol. They failed to consult or seek permission from the White House to bring a foreign leader to American soil to speak to Congress. The sole purpose of the GOP invitation is their effort to sabotage nuclear negotiations between the US and Iran. The diplomatic talks are close to securing an agreement that prevents Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, thus easing tensions in the region, especially between Israel and Iran.
Of course, outrage ensued and even Fox News expressed shock that Republicans would go this far to undermine President Obama.
How far did they go? So far that Republicans broke a law first passed by our very own Founding Fathers in 1799 known as the Logan Act, which made it illegal for any unauthorized American citizen to negotiate with foreign leaders. Only the executive branch has that power.
