Let's not lose our grip on the facts - instead of recriminations and accusations - just the facts. 1) Congressman @RoKhanna was offered to coordinate his visit with the State of Israel - this goes beyond notifying of his presence in the country. He was offered in-depth coordination of his schedule to avoid misunderstandings, and he chose to ignore that offer. He also chose not to coordinate his visit with the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. 2) He chose to conduct his visit accompanied by Palestinian activists, and, for some reason, @nytimes journalists with cameras at the ready. With him was also a person affiliated with @jstreet, an organization that actively lobbies against the government of Israel on Capitol Hill. 3) Mr. Khanna and his entourage entered what was believed to be a closed military zone without permission. The military had no prior knowledge of him going there, due to his refusal to coordinate with them. The vehicle they stopped was unknown to them and therefore provoked suspicion. The moment details of the Congressman's identity were cleared, he was free to go. At no point was the congressman, or any member of his party, threatened by the soldiers, or civilians bearing arms. 4) To add insult to injury - the Congressman used this instance as an opportunity to tout "genocide" and "apartheid" libels to the press, propelling himself to the center of yet another anti-Israel media frenzy. The facts don't lie - this was a cheap, anticipated provocation, that could, and should have been avoided. 5) Calling me a liar won’t change the facts. I’d be happy to host Congressman Khanna at our embassy for an in-depth conversation on his grievances regarding Israel.

Just made a troubling discovery… I’ve been on this app since 2007 but had zero traction until Elon removed the shackles. Even then, it’s hard to do anything with fewer than 10K followers. Rob was one of the first big accounts to push mine. The man is a tireless patriot and a friend. A true Southern gentleman. He’s also BOTH a former enlisted EOD bomb disposal technician AND full bird colonel who commanded a B-1 squadron! The problem? I just found out I now have more followers than he does. Please help me fix this by going to @RobManess and hitting follow. If you already follow Rob, consider subscribing. I do and can assure you he’ll use the money to travel and bring you better content.

@BuzzPatterson Boomers need to be muted from this space. You guys fucked the whole country up and continue to act like you’re superior. Time to sit this one out old man
