Washington, D.C. — Today, Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) spoke at a press conference organized by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) and criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for not attending Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to a Joint Session of Congress.
Senator Budd also urged Vice President Harris to support Prime Minister Netanyahu’s efforts to apply maximum pressure on Hamas terrorists to release hostages, including Americans such as North Carolina-native Keith Siegel.
Senator Budd stated:
“I don’t think that snubbing our Middle East ally does what we need to do to stop the Hamas terrorists.”
“I think it’s time to regain our moral compass, and it’s time for officials like Vice President Harris to show up and fully support Prime Minister Netanyahu.”
