House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., appearing on “Special Report with Bret Baier” on Wednesday, explained his concerns about the Democrats moving away from Israel due to the influences of “new socialists,” in particular the group of freshman House members known as “The Squad.”
McCarthy, who is on a bipartisan study tour in Israel, criticized “the Squad,” which comprises Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., for pushing Dems away from supporting Israel — and for not taking part in the trip. Tlaib and Omar are expected to make their own trip to the region as soon as this Friday.
