Speaker of the House Mike Johnson unloaded on President Biden in a recent statement; Mike accused Joe of “carrying water for Hamas” after the POTUS threatened to veto an Israel support bill.
“My statement on President Biden’s threat to veto the Israel Security Assistance Support Act,” Johnson shared on X.
“President Biden has turned his back on Israel and is now carrying water for Hamas and Iran. He has refused to enforce oil sanctions on Iran, allowed our ballistic missile sanctions there to expire, and done nothing about Iran’s dangerous nuclear buildup. The president took no decisive action when Iran was planning to attack Israel, and now that Israel is fighting for its very survival, he is withholding weapons and threatening to veto legislation that would give the Israelis what they need to adequately defend themselves.”
“The president and his administration need to reverse course immediately to stand with Israel and against the terrorism and atrocities of Iran and its proxies.”

The House is set to vote on the bill this week,
From NEWSMAX:
The White House said the bill “seeks to limit the President’s discretion to ensure that the delivery of certain defense articles and services align with U.S. foreign policy objectives,” and “would undermine the President’s ability to execute an effective foreign policy.”
In addition, the administration said in its announcement that the bill would also “raise serious concerns about infringement on the President’s authorities under Article II of the Constitution, including his duties as Commander-in-Chief and Chief Executive and his power to conduct foreign relations.”
Johnson, however, said that Biden “took no decisive action when Iran was planning to attack Israel, and now that Israel is fighting for its very survival, he is withholding weapons and threatening to veto legislation that would give the Israelis what they need to adequately defend themselves.”
