Guys that wear yarmulkes every day. shortly after the presidents tweet, netanyahu reversed course and did trumps bidding, officially barring congresswoman tlaib and omar from israel. the move garnered strong criticism from republican and democratic lawmakers, and even the powerful pro liberal group aipac disagreed. aipac added, quote, we believe every member of congress should be able to visit and experience our democratic ally israel first time. perhaps not surprising that trump is wielding thi...

Cycles especially strongly during the midterm and well hear more in this presidential campaign cycle. i think conservatives would do well to pay much attention to it because it is not an outlier view. if this is not something that is given the weight it deserves i just think it ends up being a much more difficult p.r. situation for israel over all. >> when the decision was first made as you well know a number of pro israel organizations including aipac said this isnt right. they said, look, we d...

The american pro israel lobbying group is aipac is saying that every member of congress should experience our democratic ally israel first hand. so joe, this was a position that israel held, that they would allow anyone in to the country and then the president tweets that out yesterday and then the prime minister flips on that decision. >> i think we need to really just look at this not as a decision by israel. this is all about benjamin netanyahu and its so shortsighted and nancy pelosi is righ...

That has been by the way the biggest ally of israel ever. not even the white house or any president. it has been congress. they have been giving them aid for years and theyve been very generous with them. israel is saying if you want to visit israel or the territories that we control, which is occupied territories you, have to go through aipac and approve of what were doing. if not, we dont want you there. so theyre throwing democrats under the bus and theyre aligning themselves totally with don...

Telling the leader of another democracy that two women who were legitimately elected by the people in their district should not be allowed to go to israel. >> yes, chris, you put it exactly right. its appalling. the head of the u.s. government is telling a foreign head of state to not accept two dually elected members of congress over which he presides. its appalling. the second appalling part of it is israel listened to it. israel bills itself as the only democracy in the middle east. a democra...

Bds, if you think because these women are congresswomen that they should be given an exception? b5 absolutely. when you have aipac defending you, for crying out loud. you spoke about the constituents -- this does make a slap to the face of those who voted for these women. you have to remember, they are not just our allies. we give them millions, dare i say billions of dollars that come from the taxpayer. including the constituency of these two congressional members. being that there congresswome...

Opportunity, and we dont want to see a tyrannical government either here or anywhere else. we want people to freely travel all over the world so they can find out for themselves what the facts are. and if we dont agree, we can have a good spirited debate. thats a good thing, not a bad thing. >> well, president trump seems to be at odds with some members of his own party when it comes to urging israel to bar omar and tlaib. that includes the house republican leader, kevin mccarthy. according to p...
