It’s always a mistake to pay ransoms, according to the leadership of the GOP. As a matter of principle, we should never deal with terrorists. In addition, it just encourages more hostage taking. Democrats who make deals for hostages are just unprincipled wimps who don’t have the guts to stand up for what’s right.
Of course, Bibi makes deals for hostages. Is the GOP outraged? Have you heard, say, Tom Cotton talk about what wimps the Israelis are?
Silence. That rule only applies to Democrats.
