Donald trump actually put out a tweet that said theyre dras and they hate israel. why would we ever let them -- why should anyone let them in. and it undermines exactly what we want a diverse congress to be able to do. represent multiple different experiences and positions. apac did the right thing and the principled thing by saying we dont agree with him. thats not the point here. we want them to see and understand whats happening in israel. thats what we should all want. >> ambassador, you hea...
