On Monday, speaking at AIPAC, Vice President Mike Pence powerfully condemned the Democratic Party for its tolerance of anti-Semitism in its ranks and slammed the Democratic presidential candidates who had refused to attend AIPAC, asserting, “And as I stand before you today, eight Democratic candidates for president are actually boycotting this conference. So let me be clear on this point: Anyone who aspires to the highest office in the land should not be afraid to stand with the strongest supporters of Israel in America. It is wrong to boycott Israel, and it is wrong to boycott AIPAC.”
Pence also targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), whose anti-Semitic remarks had engendered widespread condemnation, albeit with a paucity of it from members of her own party:
