Protesters, Smith said, “would say, ‘Children are dying. This is a huge humanitarian crisis.’ And they’re right about that … and by the way, I do have some sympathy with these people. If there are members of Congress who won’t meet with them, I meet with them. All the time. So they have an opportunity to be heard. They’re not trying to be heard. They’re trying to silence people who disagree with them.”
It is kind of infuriating how they are always framing protest as wanting to be “heard”, with the unspoken addition “and then ignored”.
No, people are protesting because they want the genocide to stop, not because they want some Eichmann in a suit to smile and nod politely at them for five minutes.
