Joe Biden continues to pick horrible people for his possible staff in case he gets into the White House. On Monday, he picked Reema Dodin as the White House Office of Legislative Affairs’ deputy director. Dodin is now serving as deputy chief of staff and floor director to Senate Minority Whip Richard Durbin. The choice of Dodin for such a post is controversial because she has been a vocal supporter of suicide bombings and Islamic terrorism.

Dodin is the daughter of Palestinian immigrants and claimed that “suicide bombers were the last resort of desperate people.” Dodin made the statement back in 2002 when she was still a student. She tried to justify the suicide bombing of Palestinian terrorists by blaming it all on Israel. “A place where water is so scarce that the Israeli government will cut off the supply to coerce the Palestinian population,” Dodin was quoted as saying.

She also claimed that the pro-Israeli groups in the University of California Berkeley, where she was studying, were not really serious in their calls for peace. “They say they want peace, but it’s a peace based on their rules,” Dodin said. She supported the continuous terroristic attacks that caused thousands of deaths in Israel until the Palestinians’ demands were met.

Should Biden become the president, then Dodin will be the first Palestinian-American to serve as a White House staffer. She is largely seen as a token appointment just so that the Democrats can score points with the leftists and the progressives.

The Biden-Harris transition team has been heavily criticized for the appointment of Dodin. There are other token appointments that they could have made with less controversy, but they justified their actions by saying that Dodin has outgrown her beliefs. “Reema is the first to tell you she has grown from her youth in her approach to pushing for change, but her core values of fighting to expand the opportunity to build a stronger middle class remain her driving force,” the transition team said through a statement.
