How dare they mistreat people with an American passport that way?

Let me be very specific: the prime minister needs to open an investigation on these violent settlers...

And then they call the IDF and the IDF is on their side, not on the side of the Americans.

As this ruling makes clear, President Trump’s executive order from March 2026 attempting to seize control of elections is unconstitutional and dangerous.

The IDF is on their side, not on the side of the Americans.

These hoodlums come in with machine guns—M4, an American-made machine gun—and they detain us. They block off the road.

I’m strongly considering it. And I’m more resolved to consider it after this trip.

I felt powerless in that situation, which is not an easy thing, as I have a lot of privilege in life. Imagine how people feel every day, Palestinians under the occupation, if they could make an American congressperson feel powerless for 90…

I saw the arrogance in the eyes of those settlers, 21- and 22-year-olds with guns, laughing that they had detained us, the arrogance of those young IDF soldiers that my tax dollars are funding – having no respect for the fact that they…

And these hoodlums … detain us. They block off the road. And then they call the IDF and the IDF is on their side, not on the side of the Americans.

No American would support this if they knew the details of what was going on here.

I'm strongly considering it, and I'm more resolved to consider it after this trip. We need a new moral direction in our party.

If they will do this to an American congressman, imagine what is happening to Palestinian families who are just trying to live.

We were at a village that Israeli settlers had destroyed, they had destroyed the school, they had destroyed that village, and we were just looking at it.

And these hoodlums come in with machine guns – M4, an American-made machine gun – and they detain us.

I was detained by Israeli settlers for over an hour while visiting the West Bank.

It is simply inhumane, and the United States needs to not just sanction these extremist settlers — we need to demand that the IDF start to demolish the outposts in the West Bank.

I thought to myself, if they can do this to an American member of Congress and to American citizens, imagine what life is like for ordinary Palestinians who do not have a national platform, who can’t just pick up the phone and call the…

I am convinced that the most pro-Israel candidate... if they spent one day in the West Bank... they would conclude that it is apartheid.

We’re supplying them the M4s that they’re using to detain American citizens.

It’s the most powerless I have felt.

These allegations are very serious and credible. Graham Platner should drop out from the race. I am withdrawing my endorsement.

I want to be clear: His actions were misogynistic, they were shameful, they were wrong, but they didn’t come as a surprise to a lot of the folks in Maine.

Graham Platner should drop out from the race. I am withdrawing my endorsement.

I’ve been very clear that sexual assault or violence against women is a red line.
