Washington, D.C. — Today, Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) spoke at a press conference organized by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) and slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for skipping Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to a Joint Session of Congress.
Senator Budd also called on Vice President Harris to support Prime Minister Netanyahu’s application of maximum pressure on Hamas terrorists to release hostages, including Americans like North Carolina-native Keith Siegel.
Senator Budd said:
“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.”
