Pelosi On Hamas: "The Quataris Tell Me It's A Humanitarian Organization"

In the past few weeks, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has referred to Hamas as a “humanitarian organization,” likened the thousands of unaccompanied minors at the U.S. border to the “baby Jesus” and flouted House etiquette by heckling a GOP member.
When Republicans talk that way, it's a story. Not with Pelosi. “Not a single one of these stories has really perforated into any mainstream press,” spokesman Drew Hammill chided me.
Too true. Yet these episodes highlight Pelosi's precarious perch atop a party veering ever leftward, like the House GOP seen in a rearview mirror.
When CNN's Candy Crowley asked Pelosi whether Israel should be doing more to protect civilians in Gaza, Pelosi said that Hamas initiated the conflict and that Washington must support Israel's Iron Dome and the Palestinians. “And we have to confer with the Qataris, who have told me over and over again that Hamas is a humanitarian organization,” Pelosi continued. When Crowley asked whether Pelosi considers Hamas to be a terrorist organization, Pelosi agreed — but with that sour look I see when she spies me in a press scrum.
Hammill told me Crowley cut off Pelosi before she could advocate getting the Qataris to put pressure on Hamas.
But why repeat the “humanitarian” canard?
