Democrats Are a No-Show for Jerusalem Embassy Move

Four U.S. Senators addressed members of the press at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on Monday morning, hours before the official relocation of the U.S. embassy — and all four were Republicans. Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX), Dean Heller (R-NV), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Mike Lee (R-UT) made the trip, along with ten Republican U.S. Representatives — but not one Democrat joined the U.S. delegation for the embassy event.

Only former Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) — who was the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2000 before being rejected by his party in 2006 for his support of the Iraq War — came to Jerusalem to join in the festivities.

Two journalists asked the Republican Senators why no Democrats had come.

Sen. Cruz said: “That is a sad, sad manifestation — I wish we had every member of Congress here … every member of Congress had the option before them to come.”

Sen. Graham said that no one, Republican or Democrat, had been specifically invited to the ceremony — they simply chose to come or they did not. And he noted that only Republicans had come of their own volition.

Hey everybody tune into Fox now, Trump is christening the brand new wall on our southern border to help us MAGA.

Oh no sorry my mistake, it’s a ceremony celebrating the embassy move in yet another sop to Israel.

"...in yet another sop to Israel."

It's one of his campaign promises.
Or is it just a thing you have with the juice?

People in the media need to point this out to Hillary, then ask her why she didn't attend.

(I know, I know, that won't happen.)

A campaign promise of Clinton, Bush 2, Obama. But actually delivered by Trump. What’s the problem?

Demorats are whole-hardheartedly anti-Semitic, but they get well over 90% of the Jewish votes. Go figure.

Exactly.

Check his/her posting history. Seems to be a repeating theme (problem with Israel).

Hillary supported the move, before a President willing to carry it out of course. Her husband signed the bill, supporting the bill before he didn't.

“It’s not for me to tell you what that says,” Graham said. “It hurts me.”...........

It hurts the Democrats more by showing their true “colors”. Certainly the demodummies can’t support something Trump had a major hand in accomplishing, just ask “Nancy”.

Hillary kissed Arafart’s wife just after Arafart’s wife said that the Israelis kill ‘palestinian’ children and use their blood for cooking.
