Josh Harder tries, fails to hide himself caving to pro-Hamas extremists
While far-left radicals protested his office, Josh Harder called for a ceasefire against Hamas terrorists, but you wouldn’t know it looking at his website or social media.
That is, until a news outlet contacted Harder asking why not.
“Josh Harder caved to the extreme mob protesting his office instead of standing on principle. Harder fakes being a moderate while selling out everyday Central Valley voters to the far-left, and Harder’s desperate attempts to hide it shows how toxic his stance is.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen

California Democrat with competitive reelection joins call for cease-fire, quietly
Jewish Insider

Rep. Josh Harder (D-CA), a California lawmaker potentially facing a potentially competitive reelection race in November, quietly joined calls for a bilateral cease-fire between Israel and Hamas last Friday.
In a statement posted to his congressional website, Harder cited the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the reported deaths of thousands of civilians and conversations with constituents about the situation in the Middle East.
“After many conversations with our community members, I am now calling on the Biden Administration and the entire U.S. Government to join me in supporting a bilateral ceasefire agreement. I am calling for an end to all current hostilities in order to save millions of innocent lives,” Harder said in the statement. “I have had the opportunity to hear directly from many of you about the ongoing bombardment of Gaza. I share your feelings of heartbreak, frustration, and outrage.”

Harder’s call for a cease-fire has largely flown under the radar. Unlike most other cease-fire supporters on the Hill, Harder hasn’t publicized his call on social media, and it originally did not appear alongside other press releases on his congressional website.
The statement was added on Monday to Harder’s press releases page after JI contacted his office, and a Harder spokesperson said it was a mistake that it did not initially appear there. Harder’s office originally published the statement with a shorter and more easily accessible URL, the spokesperson said.
California’s Democratic Party has found itself increasingly divided between left-wing anti-Israel demonstrators demanding an immediate cease-fire and more moderate pro-Israel constituents, including Jewish Democrats.
