Khanna: Netanyahu Should Be Arrested by U.S.On Saturday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested by the United States and responded to concerns that Americans could be put in danger by the precedent that would be created by this move by saying that “There’s no warrant for any American leader at the ICC” and there’s “a very high bar” to get one.
Khanna said, “Well, I have said that the United States should arrest, whether it’s him or Putin, under international law. That is the ICC, if they have a warrant for you, then you shouldn’t come to our jurisdiction. Now, the U.N. may be one thing, but if he’s coming for any other purpose, we should be upholding international law. It has nothing to do with Israel. I’d do it for Putin too, anyone who has a warrant for war crimes.”
He continued, “And people always say, well, what about America? There’s no warrant for any American leader at the ICC. It takes — it’s a very high bar.”

Khanna: I Stood by Platner Despite Nazi Tattoo Because I Liked His Platform, He’s ‘Against Foreign Wars’On Saturday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) said that he supported Graham Platner despite the Nazi tattoo and other issues because his “platform was one that I was excited about. He was standing for Medicare for all. He was standing against foreign wars. He was standing for workers over the billionaire class. He was a charismatic figure. And, like many, I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I wanted his platform.”
Co-host Jacqueline Alemany said, “I’d love to just have the conversation about what you think went wrong with Graham Platner, why he kind of strung you and other high-profile figures in the Democratic Party along, how he was able to sort of toe that line, even despite having all of the baggage, between the Nazi tattoo and the Reddit posts that we already knew about, and how you kind of made the assessment when taking those factors into consideration and why it is so hard for politicians and for prominent figures who did back him to just say, I’m sorry, I made a mistake, like you did.”
Khanna responded, “Well, I was wrong. I also said I should have listened to my wife. But the reason it’s hard is because the headline comes, you made a mistake, and most people…want to just move on. They want to say, oh, I didn’t have bad judgment. And what I said — I was actually honest, look, his platform was one that I was excited about. He was standing for Medicare for all. He was standing against foreign wars. He was standing for workers over the billionaire class. He was a charismatic figure. And, like many, I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I wanted his platform. And, in retrospect, we should have listened more to the signs that were there. And, as a party, if you don’t say you’re wrong, then how are you going to do better? How are you going to do better in listening to voices like Cheyenne and others who were sounding the alarm bells and saying, look, I’m telling you, this is going to lead to possible allegations of domestic violence. So, for me, it was a lesson of humility, and I’m going to try to do better.”
