Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) on Thursday released the following statement in response to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-New York) demand for new Israeli elections:
“Chuck Schumer’s demand for new Israeli elections is inappropriate and offensive. Israel is a close ally and a healthy, vibrant democracy. The last thing Israel needs is the ‘foreign election interference’ that Democrats so often decry here. Besides, the main elections that worry Chuck Schumer aren’t Israel’s but our elections because the rampant antisemitism that the Democratic Party has allowed to fester in its ranks is massively unpopular with the pro-Israel American public. Chuck Schumer should remove the log in his own party’s eye before he whines about the speck in Israel’s eye.”
