...there is no evidence that any Democratic elected officials have explicitly described Hamas as “the good guys.” While some Democrats have expressed nuanced or critical views on the Israel-Hamas conflict, none have publicly endorsed Hamas in such terms.
What the record shows:
- 🗣️ Democratic praise for peace deals: Some Democrats have praised ceasefire agreements involving Hamas, especially those that led to the release of hostages. However, this praise has focused on diplomacy and humanitarian outcomes—not on Hamas itself. In fact, many Democrats have deliberately avoided naming Hamas when discussing these deals.
- 🧾 Condemnation votes: In November 2023, 22 House Democrats voted against a resolution condemning support for Hamas and Hezbollah on college campuses. Their opposition was largely framed around concerns about free speech and the resolution’s wording—not support for Hamas.
- 🔥 Right-wing framing: Republican figures and conservative media have accused Democrats of being soft on Hamas or sympathetic to its supporters. For example, Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that Democratic constituents include “Hamas terrorists,” but this was a partisan attack, not a reflection of Democratic statements.
- 🧩 Complex party dynamics: Some progressive Democrats have expressed solidarity with Palestinians or criticized Israeli military actions. These statements have sometimes been misinterpreted or reframed as support for Hamas, but they typically focus on human rights and civilian suffering, not endorsement of militant groups.
In short, the blog title you mentioned appears to be a provocative or adversarial misreading rather than a reflection of actual Democratic rhetoric.
