Vice President Mike Pence delivered a barn burner of a speech today calling out the Democrats for their anti-Israel stance. He went on to also call for the ouster of Rep. Ilhan Omar on the Foreign Affairs Committee:
“It is astonishing to think that the party of Harry Truman, has been co-opted by people who promote rank anti-Semitic rhetoric and work to undermine the broad American consensus on Israel. Recently, a freshman Democrat in Congress trafficked in anti-Semitic tropes, alleged Congressional support for Israel reflected an allegiance to a foreign country. Said, Israel, and I quote, “hypnotized the world,” and she accused Americans who support Israel of being bought off by campaign contributions.
Anti-Semitism has no place in the Congress of the United States of America! …
And at a minimum, anyone who slanders those who support this historic alliance between the United States and Israel should never have a seat on the Foreign Affairs Committee!” Transcript via Gateway Pundit

Vice President Pence went on to call out the eight Democratic Presidential candidates for being no-shows at the event:
Eight Democratic candidates for President are actually boycotting #AIPAC2019. Let me be clear, anyone who aspires to the highest office in the land should not be afraid to stand with the strongest supporters of Israel in America.

Pence gave a strong speech with condemnation for anyone who his anti-Israel while the Democrats are no-shows.
How will this play out in the 2020 elections? Dems are out there with their blatant anti-semitism and lack of support for anything to do with Israel while Republicans are 100% behind Israel. Your thoughts on the divide?
