Biden ally highlights past comments to cast doubt on Trump as defender of Israel
A Democratic representative and Marine veteran is calling out former President Donald Trump for remarks made in 2016 when he suggested Israel should foot more of its own defense spending or reimburse the United States for some of its contributions, as he had suggested for several other countries. The lawmaker, a close ally and supporter of President Joe Biden, slammed Trump on Wednesday over the past statements amid the fatal terrorist attacks by Hamas and the war in Israel.
