AIPAC’s apology for Trump speech is unprecedented
Washington Post ^ | 3/22/16 | David Weigel

Posted on 03/22/2016 7:01:30 PM PDT by markomalley

This morning, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu experienced something that American politicians have become all too familiar with — being overshadowed by Donald Trump.

The prime minister’s video-linked speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's conference was preceded by the unscheduled introduction of AIPAC President Lillian Pinkus and four other leaders. Choking back tears, Pinkus apologized for Monday night's speeches, implying that Donald Trump had violated a nonpartisan standard.

“From the moment this conference began, until this moment, we have preached a message of unity,” Pinkus said. “We have said, in every way we can think of: Come together. But last evening, something occurred which has the potential to drive us apart, to divide us. We say, unequivocally, that we do not countenance ad hominem attacks, and we take great offense to those that are levied against the president of the United States of America from our stage.”

Unprecedented yet quite satisfying. It’s like watching them eat a double portion of raw Crow.

Bull.
These absolutely WERE partisan shots all day long.
They are just sensitive because he got a rousing cheer for his criticism of Obama, and the libs are apoplectic.

Hillary is running as Obama’s third term, and they plan on voting for her for some unknown reason.

Pinkus is despicable. Crying over Der Fuhrer being offended, as he works every day to destroy the Jewish State.

Pinkie is clearly an enemy within, whether she knows it or not.

Pinkus is a fool and a dangerous one for Jewish relations and should resign. She’s shameful.

Maybe she should apologize to the Muslims of Belgium for offending them too. Sick

The AIPAC apologist is an embarrassment to the organization and should be replaced ASAP!

Pinkus sounds like a pansy. Typical Washington ComPost piece.

Yup. They are very akin to Sweedish women who vote left, cheer mass Muslim immigration, then are shocked when the rape rates skyrocket.

IOW, reality denying fools.

Pinky was offended. Not many others were though.

Jane Eisner is a leftist and had sought to have AIPAC boycott Donald Trump earlier this week. Her opinion on DJT is highly biased.
