Washington, D.C. – Just a few months ago, many House Democrats sat in silence as their own members made anti-Israel and anti-Semitic comments. While Hamas was actively attacking Israel, the Squad decided it was time to deliver their own attack and propose an outrageous resolution preventing the United States from providing resources for Israel to defend itself.
Today, Democrats decided to take more shots at one of America’s strongest allies and the only democracy in the Middle East. The addition of $1 Billion in funding for Israel’s Iron Dome in a government funding bill sent a group of progressives into a tizzy. They threatened to vote no if it still included funding for the Iron Dome. And what did Speaker Nancy Pelosi and leadership do? Cower to their demands.
Senate hopefuls Tim Ryan, and Val Demings were silent before. Will they once again duck and cover? And what about Conor Lamb?
Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Priscilla Ivasco: “The anti-Israel radicals are driving the agenda of the Democrat Party. They threatened to tank a spending bill if it included any funding to help Israel defend itself, and House Democrat leadership folded. Democrats like Val Demings, Tim Ryan and Conor Lamb always refuse to stand up to the radicals in their party, and this is no different.”
