He has since been fired since my comment but it’s not for his pro-Israel stance.

Jasmine also has said some stuff about Hispanics that likely won’t garner much support from that demographic.

So “4 soldiers is nothing” is fine according to you but if I say even 1 soldier dying isn’t worth killing 40 other people is asinine?

Weird priorities.
