For background on the Marxist Hernández, see here. Meanwhile, the claim that no one at the pro-jihad rally was pro-Hamas is silly. There is no action for “Palestinian human rights” that doesn’t display open and gleeful support for Hamas jihadis and other forces of like mind.

“Rookie legislator reprimanded for supporting Palestine in wake of attacks,” by Carol McKinley, Denver Gazette, October 9, 2023:
Hours after the terrorist organization Hamas launched a surprise holiday attack on Israel, Colorado Rep. Tim Hernández joined around three dozen participants at a rally at the state Capitol and waved a Palestinian flag.
The Palestine Solidarity Rally was described in a flyer as “An Emergency protest for Palestinian Resistance.” It appeared to be organized by the Colorado Palestinian Coalition.
Hernández’s place among the crowd may have gone unnoticed except that it was caught by television cameras gathering footage of the event.
Almost immediately, lawmakers on both sides jumped on Hernández’ action.
“He voiced his approval of the slaughter of innocent people,” said Rep. Lisa Frizell, R-Castle Rock. “I find that to be contrary to anything that I hold dear.”
There is no rule that prohibits legislative house members from participating in a rally or protest. Still, Frizell bemoaned Hernández’s “absence of decorum,” saying she doesn’t believe he “respects the institution he was appointed to.”
But Rep. Iman Jodeh, D-Aurora, said it is unfair to single out Hernandez for “expressing his beliefs that all people should be afforded human rights.” She pointed out that there has been “massive precedent” of other elected officials who have also attended rallies, voicing opinions on the west steps of the state Capitol during the repeal of Roe v. Wade and most recently when conflicts arose in Sudan and Ethiopia.
“Let me be clear,” Jodeh said. “As far as I know, no one held that rally for Hamas. People were rallying for Palestinian human rights.” To equate Hernández’ actions with Hamas, she said, is “reckless.”…

Calling for a terrorist ceasefire is ridiculous. The IDF is now in search and destroy mode.

Trying to split hairs….and it won’t work for those who recognize the Truth….those fighting the Jews in Israel, are all mozlum terrorists and they are not fighting “repression, blockades, apartheid, occupation, or any of the other buzz words.’
They are fighting the Jews because they are Jews and killing Jews in their beds and cutting off the heads of babies because those babies and their parents are Jews.
If one does not oppose evil, then they are for evil.
Hoi Polloi says
Exactly. He looked so ridiculous in his arrogance, seeming to believe he had managed to thread the needle. He sneered and smirked at the idea that there are better places to be right now than with those declaring a massacre to be both a victory and a matter of rights for those who were not actually massacred, kidnapped, raped, beheaded, and burned alive, then paraded after death to be spat upon by savages.
He’s clearly happy to be a paid-off pretend politician because that clip should be used in campaign ads against him if he ever tries to run outside his safe district.
somehistory says
When I was young, we called such people smartaleks. And we said the little rhyme: Smarty Arty had a party; but nobody came but Smarty Arty.
He’s worse than a jerk. May as well call him a terrorist; as those who support terrorism are in the same camp with those who take lives with knives, bombs, raping, beheading, etc.
If enough people find out about him, then he will not be around for long. If enough of the right kind of people.
James Lincoln says
At the very least, somehistory, he’s a terrorist enabler.
somehistory says
at the least, James. But if he supplied a robber with a gun, or drove a getaway car for a heist, he’d be tried the same as the one carrying out the crime.
somehistory says
I should have written “the other crime.’
James Lincoln says
Correct, somehistory.

This narcissistic man needs to be removed from office immediately! Next, he’s going to support the beheadings and killings of Americans. A person like him should never, ever be a representative in office
Old Fart says
All leftists have some type of psychiatric disorder and added to that is their amazing ability to use inverted logic.
Aristotle was right when he said something akin to- All revolutions begin with an individual’s personal problems.
Edward A.Brandwein says
This should come as no surprise since Marxism has always been blatantly anti semitic and openly sponsored and supported terrorism.
Old Fart says
They are disturbed personalities who think the world needs correction.
OLD GUY says
Colorado should be totally embarrassed by Tim Hernandez and should demand his resignation or impeach him.

It looks like I’m still not able to post…? Why…?
