Jerusalem Post: Democrats criticize US envoy’s comments on partisan Israel support

June 1, 2018

Ron Klein, former congressman from Florida now chairing the Jewish Democratic Council of America, chastised Friedman for remarks that he said were “unprecedentedly partisan” coming from a sitting ambassador.

“Ambassador Friedman should spend more time cultivating the historically bipartisan nature of the US-Israel partnership, as opposed to being politically divisive in his words and actions, including his refusal to invite Democratic members of Congress to the Jerusalem embassy opening,” Klein said.
