The entire Democratic — or “Democrat,” as the vice president put it, using the ungrammatical truncation that has become popular on the right — Party also came under assault from Pence.
WASHINGTON — Vice President Mike Pence used his speech at the annual convention of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, on Monday morning to sharply criticize Democrats he charged with being insufficiently loyal to the Jewish State. Pence, a Republican from Indiana, reminded them that Israel and the United States were not merely allies, but in fact, “mishpocha,” using the Yiddish word for “family.
The vice president, who did not mention Omar by name, lamented that a House newcomer had “trafficked in repeated anti-Semitic tropes,” listing a number of Omar’s more incendiary assertions. “Anti-Semitism has no place in the Congress of the United States of America,” Pence said, as applause washed over the convention hall.
The entire Democratic—or “Democrat,” as Pence put it, using the ungrammatical truncation that has become popular on the right—Party also came under assault from Pence, who has proven himself to be a reliable messenger for President Trump. He decried the fact that the party of President Truman, who was instrumental in the creation of Israel, and “the home of so many American Jews for so long,” had “struggled” to condemn Omar’s anti-Semitism.
