Rep. Ro Khanna’s latest showboating stunt is too much even for other Democratic electeds — not only a transparent ploy to get past his all-in bet on the Graham Platner campaign, but a transparently pathetic bid to play victim of those darn Israelis.

Just days after his scorched-earth defense of the Maine Senate candidate failed to stop the implosion, Khanna (D-Calif.) rushed off to the Middle East to change his storyline.

He headed to the West Bank, intentionally directing his entourage into a restricted zone, then pretended he’d been taken hostage by Israeli “settlers” run amok.

In reality, he was briefly stopped by local security; after the army checked out his story he was free to proceed on his inane “fact-finding” mission.

Khanna’s subsequent whining that it’s “unprecedented” and “illegal” for an “American citizen” to be stopped in a high-security area in another country is not only absurd, it’s the ultimate entitled “ugly American” behavior.

Any American, even an elected official, who makes an unscheduled and unannounced trip to a contained area in some other part of the world would reasonably expect to be stopped and questioned.

Notice that none of Khanna’s House colleagues have stepped up to defend him: Even other progressives are sick of this self-promoting phony.

Khanna, perhaps the wealthiest Democrat in Congress, is even crying that he was stopped for being “brown” — utter nonsense when many Palestinians are fair-skinned and many Israelis (Jewish as well as Arab) are dark-skinned.

The most shameless self-promoter in Washington can bang on all he likes about Israeli “apartheid,” but it has nothing to do with the real thing, nor even American racial divides.

This is the cheapest possible demagoguery, appealing only to the most ignorant in his domestic audience.

More posturing: Having staged his “victimhood” in front of a New York Times photographer, he proceeded to talk up his ambition to seek the presidency, pretending to warn Israelis that he might soon be running the world.

Hah! He’s even more of a joke than Kamala Harris.

But Khanna is immune to shame or self-doubt: He’s not even embarrassed by his naming of complete innocents as supposed Jeffrey Epstein confederates, nor his foolish embrace of an obvious fraud like Platner.

This pustulation on the rear end of American democracy will surely pop or desiccate sooner or later.

The real shame is that we have to put up with his camera-hogging as we wait for it to happen.
