Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “People want to hear from Andy Beshear, Mamdani, Pete Buttigieg. There are a lot of great people in the next generation.” Bill Maher: “So you think Mamdani is a great one, huh?” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “I do. I mean, did you see his Knicks speech?” Bill Maher: “Not the issue that most concerned me.” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “It’s worth a watch. Because the speech was not just about the Knicks. First of all, he like recites every Knicks player. I couldn’t do that…” Bill Maher: “Who gives a sh*t about the Knicks?! He’s the mayor of New York!” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “Well, yeah, but he talks about how it’s actually bringing people together. Trump voters, Mamdani voters, how it’s overcoming the odds. And he took a speech that was just about celebrating the championship, and he made something bigger about it.” Bill Maher: “Well, it doesn’t make me forget that his wife loved the October 7th attack on Israel and that he pals around with terrorists.” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “No, come on. Have you had him on the show?” Bill Maher: “We ask people like that, Ro. They never come.” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “I’ll talk to him.

Congressman Ro Khanna said he was detained by Israeli settlers for over an hour while visiting the West Bank. Khanna also said members of the Israel Defense Forces spoke with the settlers and moved a car to block the road. Khanna's experience was first reported by The New York Times. A spokesperson for the congressman confirmed the details of the Times' report to CBS News. The Israeli military said they intervened after receiving a report of settlers blocking vehicles near Khirbet Zanuta and "troops dispersed the Israeli civilians and allowed the vehicles to continue on their way." Khanna described his experience in the West Bank and Israel as "the first time that I have really been acutely aware of being brown." "I feel like people have seen me first as brown, second as an American congressman, and third as an American citizen," he said.

Indian Government Sources tell me: “The comments by Congressman Ro Khanna have nothing to do with the current Indian Ambassador in Beijing.” Ro Khanna had earlier stated: “I was in China and the Indian Ambassador there told me that a generation of trust has been lost by President Trump. If we don't speak the truth about the damage this President has done..we are not living in reality."

Reminder that Ro Khanna was in such a hurry to "get" the DOJ and to draw attention to himself that he falsely accused innocent people of being co-conspirators of Epstein. As soon as it came out that he had made a mistake, Khanna immediately started blaming the DOJ for what he had done. Nothing Ro Khanna says should be trusted. He's a media whore who moves from one grift to another.

Rep. Ro Khanna said his office alerted the U.S. embassy in Israel of his visit to the West Bank, where he said he was detained by Israeli settlers, but Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Dr. Michael Leiter tells Margaret Brennan, “There was not an alert. There was a question about visas, that is all.” He adds, “When we requested he coordinate the trip with us, he rejected that by basically staying silent. So, that’s unfortunate. This whole incident is unfortunate.”

🇺🇸🇵🇸 “If they can do this to an American congressman, what can they do to Palestinians?” Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) was detained for over an hour near Khirbet Zanuta in the occupied West Bank after armed settlers carrying American-made M4 rifles surrounded his van. Khanna said the IDF soldiers who arrived knew an American congressman was in the vehicle and still sided with the settlers rather than helping. Khanna’s group was only released after the U.S. Embassy intervened. During his days in the West Bank, including Hebron, Bethlehem, Beit Sahour, and Turmus Ayya, Khanna says he witnessed a “culture of impunity.” He visited the school in Al-Mughayyir, where a 14-year-old boy and a 32-year-old man were killed by settler gunfire earlier this year, and met with Palestinian American families who’ve lost children to Israeli military and settler violence, including the family of Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim, a 16-year-old American citizen from Florida who was held in Israeli prison for over nine months without trial and returned home starving. Khanna compared the West Bank to the days of Jim Crow in the United States, and says that Americans need to come to the West Bank and see “the apartheid in the West Bank with their own eyes.” 🎥 Report by Maysa Mustafa in the occupied West Bank with Congressman Ro Khanna

If you have 3 minutes to watch Pete Hegseth get schooled by Ro Khanna, you need to watch this! Listen through the end. It’s EPIC! Congressman Ro Khanna: “How much did it cost American taxpayers in terms of the strike on the school?” Pete Hegseth: “I wouldn’t tie a cost to it.” He then refuses to say what the costs are to American families, before Ro Khanna gives him the astounding numbers. The end is the best part. Hegseth and Trump are so far from reality when it comes to everyday Americans.

Ro Khanna, recounted the moment the California Democrat's delegation was detained by Israeli settlers during a visit to the occupied West Bank last week, and described the experience as “horrifying.” “I was terrified. I'm a school shooting survivor… So, this was not exactly a new feeling to me,” said Kasky, who was with Khanna on the trip. “I truly didn't know what was going to happen to us.” The Israeli military has denied Khanna's accusation that it assisted the settlers.

Rep. Ro Khanna discusses reports that the Justice Department withheld and removed Epstein files related to Donald Trump, calling it a “blatant violation” of the law requiring full disclosure. He told Breaking Points he is concerned about what was redacted and whether the files were permanently altered. Khanna accuses the DOJ of shielding powerful figures, which he has described as the “Epstein class.” He said he is bringing Epstein survivor Haley Robson as his guest to the State of the Union to underscore the lack of accountability and prosecutions tied to the case.

When confronted about going to the West Bank without coordinating with the Israeli Government, Ro Khanna had this to say: "I did that on purpose! I’ve been to Israel multiple times, I wanted to see the West Bank through the lens of the Palestinians." Ro Smollett staged this "Israeli attack" to distract from the fact that he knowing campaigned for, endorsed & Bankrolled a Nazi r*pist, as well as being exposed recently for doing more insider trading than Nancy Pelosi. Ro needs to resign. He will never be president. Ever.

Khanna paused, turned around, said “no”, and continued running away. Rep. Khanna clearly doesn’t care about Zohran’s radical support for Islamic jihadist causes like “globalizing the intifada”, because if he did, he wouldn’t have praised him in the first place. Elected Democrats are such liars. And they are a massive threat to our national security.

If Ro Khanna hates Israel so much, why did he visit? Khanna is a Jew hater who wanted to create an international incident to distract from the fact that Iran is plotting to assassinate President Trump and our ally Israel alerted us to that intel. Israel has every right to be worried about a communist US Congressman who attends pro-Hamas conferences and who praises and endorses Islamic jihadists in America visiting Judea and Samaria to cause tension. If our own elected officials had balls, they would have removed Ro Khanna from office or censured him a long time ago for promoting communism and Islamic jihadist causes in America. He’s literally on video laughing about October 7th. This video was filmed last year when Ro Khanna spoke at Arab Con in Dearborn, Michigan where attendees and speakers glorified October 7th and cheered for Hamas. Israel should do America a massive favor and keep Ro Khanna! Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו Israel Defense Forces

WATCH: Margaret Brennan gets COOKED by Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Leiter over Ro Khanna's incursion in the West Bank MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, before I let you go, there were two high-profile incidents I want to quickly touch on here. One, a CNN crew attacked in the West Bank by what they say were four settlers. There was also an incident with Ro Khanna, the congressman from California, who said he was his vehicles he was in were stopped by Israeli settlers, and then when the IDF showed up, they were on the side of the settlers, not him. He said "[i]t's not a good idea to detain longshot presidential candidates". It was a warning to your government. Do you think your government needs to apologize to both him and those CNN journalists? MICHAEL LEITER: Any violence is to be condemned. No excuses, no explanations. Okay. So if CNN crew was attacked, that needs to be condemned, and I'm doing so right now. And we need to do a better job. BRENNAN: You are condemning it [unint]-- LEITER: --If- if- if it was- actually took place as they've reported it, absolutely condemning it. We need to rein in violence on all sides. Now, in terms of Ro Khanna, we reached out to him when we heard he was going to Israel, the Israeli embassy here in Washington. As all congressmen do, they coordinate their trip with the Israeli government. We suggested he visit with- with survivors of the October 7th massacre. That he visit the borders, so he understands the, the issues that we have in our borders and so on. He ignored that and he decided to coordinate his trip not with Israel, but with Palestinian activists and with J Street, which is a anti-government, anti-Israeli government advocacy group here in Washington. So you know he coordinated-- BRENNAN: It's a Jewish lobby group… LEITER: Well, it's-- BRENNAN: …that is supportive of a different path for Israel. LEITER: Yeah, yeah. I- I play tennis once a year. That doesn't make me a tennis player. The fact that they call themselves a Jewish organization is- is irrelevant. They're- they're- an advocacy group against the government of Israel. That has to be clear. BRENNAN: The current government, Netanyahu government. LEITER: Yes. Yes-- BRENNAN: That's what you mean, the government you work for. LEITER: And Congressman Khanna, there has been no secret about his antipathy towards the government of Israel as well. So perhaps if he would have coordinated the trip- and then you know to have this incident on Wednesday and wait to release it on Saturday, maybe this had more something to do with his support of- of Graham Platner beforehand and the difficulties he had with that, and trying to shift the focus to something else. Perhaps I'm asking a question. BRENNAN: Well, we did hear from Congressman Khanna, who said that there was an alert to the embassy on his behalf, and that they asked for the news… LEITER: --There was not, there was not-- BRENNAN: …to be held until he had left the country, as well. LEITER: There was a question. There was not an alert. There was a question about visas. That's all. But when we requested that he coordinate the trip with us, he rejected that by basically staying silent. So that's unfortunate. This whole incident is unfortunate. And if- if somebody, it's kind of interesting that somebody wants to declare a presidential run by running off to Israel? Not strange? BRENNAN: Well, we're going to have to leave it there, sir. There's so much more to talk about with you, but I'm out of time. Thank you for coming. LEITER: Thank you, Margaret. Good to be with you. BRENNAN: And we'll be right back with a lot more. Face the Nation. Stay with us.
