Good on
@DanaBashCNN
to continually press
@RepJayapal
on condemning Hamas’ horrific sexual violence against Israeli women. Jayapal repeatedly said she spoke out specifically against the sexual violence but has apparently not done so, at least on X.

HOLY SMOKES. The clip is HORRIFYING. Jayapal scolds Israel: "If they do not comply with international humanitarian law..."

CNN's Dana Bash was having none of it: "With respect, I was just asking about the women, and you turned it back to Israel..."

Jaypal: "...We have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians..."

When asked about why there hasn’t been more outrage about Hamas’s rape of Israeli women Rep Jayapal says sexual violence should be condemned but “we have to be balanced” in our condemnation.
