Zero Congressional Democrats Attend Embassy Dedication in Jerusalem
Dems being Dems....
Quote:As the United States Embassy to Israel in Jerusalem is dedicated on Monday, not one Congressional Democrat will be in attendance.
Several Republicans from both the House of Representatives and the Senate will be in attendance at the event. A couple of delegations of Congressional Republicans flew to Israel for the event, the Times of Israel reports.
“That is a sad, sad manifestation. I wish he’d have every member of Congress here,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) said blaming former President Barack Obama and his relationship with Israeli leadership for no Democrats attending.
“I don’t know why the Democrats will not be here, chose not to come. Every member of Congress had the option before them to come and be here,” Cruz said. “There was no way on earth we could have inaugurated this embassy without my being here to celebrate it. It’s too important.”

I'm not kidding here but in my opinion these Demons are Islamic sympathizers and really in their heart hate the Jewish people as did their idol Oblunder. They know that their antics hurt our country but that's their motive.

Agree. How a person of the Jewish faith can support a Democrat is beyond me.

I will never understand why Jews vote overwhelmingly democrat. Of course, based on surveys anyway, most Jews are "non-practicing" and use it more as a status in their community than an actual religious belief and practice.

Their own would turn on them and label them deplorable. Free thinking does not exist in the Democratic Party.

Maybe they didn't want to be around Robert Jeffress and John Hague. Those two pastors have been in plenty of hot water in the past for their controversial statements (Mitt Romney had an angry tweet about Jeffress today -- Robert Jeffress says “you can’t be saved by being a Jew,“ and “Mormonism is a heresy from the pit of hell.” He’s said the same about Islam. Such a religious bigot should not be giving the prayer that opens the United States Embassy in Jerusalem).
I really don't want to claim them as Democrats anymore but I still believe Jared and Ivanka are closet Democrats.

That’s probably true, for now. As they go through life, however, I think they’ll find (if they haven’t already) that Democrats hate them for their kinship/support of President Trump. Eventually they may find themselves as Republicans by default, not that most Republicans really like them, either.

Well, it makes for a fine headline but the truth is Congressmen don't really have any legitimate business going.
