Though hardcore leftists have just as much right to question politicians and protest as conservatives do, those of us on the dark side still reserve the right to call out the more annoying lefty agitators when the occasion presents itself.
The options are numerous, from the Occupy Wall Street fanatics, to the Planned Parenthood/NOW radicals, to the Antifa/Black Lives Matter-led rioters, to the CHAZ/CHOP occupiers - and everything in between.
There is of course a lot of overlap and coordination between those core "progressive" protest groups. The newest incarnation seems to be the anti-Israel/pro-Hamas contingent that has not just made general nuisances of themselves since the Oct. 7th Hamas terrorist attacks but has also, in some instances, openly admitted they believed innocent Israelis deserved to be brutalized and murdered.
In even more disturbing instances, some have called for the genocide of Jewish people.
Needless to say, such hate groups should be treated with the contempt and disgust they deserve, which is exactly what happened Wednesday when members of the far-left, pro-Hamas group Code Pink tried to corner Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) in a Senate hallway, with one keffiyeh-wearing Useful Idiot in particular pouring on the hysterics in hopes of getting Hawley to lose his cool.
He didn't.
Instead, Hawley calmly told the woman in no uncertain terms that there shouldn't be any type of "ceasefire" from Israel until the Hamas terrorist organization was eliminated. That seemed to set the woman off even more, as she weirdly responded that they would "never" be eliminated, which kinda sorta made her sound like a Hamas apologist, in my opinion.
At one point toward the end of the heated exchange, Hawley called the ranting woman antisemitic and "pro-terrorist," saying if things went the way she wanted them to there would be another Holocaust before walking away, which she didn't like very much:
MUST WATCH: Code Pink Karen melts down when Senator Hawley tells her Israel has a right to defend itself.

These confrontations have become a near-daily thing on the House and Senate sides, with protesters even showing up at times in front of the homes of some members of Congress. For instance, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has had Code Pink types outside her San Francisco home on a weekly basis since the war began after she, too, defended Israel's right to defend itself.
In any event, good on Hawley for not pretending, as some Democratic Senators and even Joe Biden have done, these groups have legitimate grievances. As far as I'm concerned, any group that believes Israel doesn't have the right to defend itself and its people and that also believes Jews got what they deserved and should be wiped off the map doesn't deserve the time of day, much less to be shown one ounce of respect.
Don't go away mad, left-wing wackadoodles. Just go away.
