Rep. Hern Tells Newsmax: Only Republicans Backing Israel Nowadays

Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., told Newsmax on Saturday that although congressional support of Israel has always been a bipartisan issue, “now it’s only the Republicans” who support Israel.

After a turbulent two weeks on American college campuses, Republicans criticized the delayed response of President Joe Biden to the crisis. Some in the media have labeled Biden’s words as “too little too late,” but Hern stated that Biden’s reaction reflects the “Democrats’ mantra” of leading from behind.

“They don’t care about America. They’re more for Hamas than they are for the Jews. [Senate Majority Leader Chuck] Schumer [D-N.Y.] wouldn’t even talk about having a clean Israel bill. He pressured [House] Speaker [Mike] Johnson [R-La.] not to send it over because he didn’t want to have it. He didn’t want to support Israel,” he said during an appearance on “Wake Up America Weekend.”

“Different groups that have always been bipartisan. The American leadership has always had bipartisan support for Israel. Now it’s only the Republicans. And, you know, now the Jewish people are conflicted, I’m sure, to see what’s happening in this White House and in the Senate,” Hern added.
