'Squad' Dem faces backlash for smearing Israel as 'racist state': 'Truly disgusting'
Fox News
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., was blasted on social media Saturday after she told a protester that Israel is a "racist state" and called for a two-state solution.
"As somebody who’s been in the streets and participated in a lot of demonstrations, I want you to know that we have been fighting to make it clear that Israel is a racist state, that the Palestinian people deserve self-determination and autonomy, that the dream of a two-state solution is slipping away from us, that it does not even feel possible," Jayapal said at the far-left Netroots Nation Conference in Chicago.

"It is people that are literally trying to make sure that we do not take the positions we take, that the rest of the progressive caucus has been pushing and pushing," she added.
