McConnell Rails Against Sanders for Not Supporting AIPAC

‘This year few leading Democratic presidential candidates even made the effort to show up’

EXCERPT:

McCONNELL: "This year few leading Democratic presidential candidates even made the effort to show up. I know the former Vice President addressed you by video, though not in person. And he felt compelled to justify his participation by telling one activist he was speaking to you in order to try to change your views. Others, including the senior senator from Massachusetts, have made a public point of avoiding the gathering altogether. Then there’s the senior senator from Vermont, the current front-runner. Not only did Senator Sanders skip the conference, he bashed it publicly. He said you all provide a platform for bigotry and he called Israel’s democratically elected prime minister a reactionary racist. Democratic candidates used to be proud to stand alongside Israel and AIPAC. Now some jockey to see who can get the farthest away.”
