The Pennsylvania governor, who is considered a top contender to be Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, is facing backlash for comments he made in his college newspaper about Palestinians.
In the article, the governor wrote that Palestinians were “too battle-minded,” sparking outrage from many in the Palestinian community and beyond.
His remarks have been condemned as insensitive and offensive, with critics calling for him to apologize and educate himself on the history and struggles of the Palestinian people.
As a potential candidate for Vice President, the governor’s past comments are coming under increased scrutiny, raising questions about his ability to represent all Americans fairly and impartially.
It remains to be seen how the governor will address the controversy and whether it will impact his chances of being chosen as Vice President Harris’s running mate.
