Biden statement on Israel denying entry to Reps. Omar and Tlaib [View all]

Tweeted a couple of hours ago:

I have always been a stalwart supporter of Israel—a vital partner that shares our democratic values. No democracy should deny entry to visitors based on the content of their ideas—even ideas they strongly object to. And no leader of the free world should encourage them to do so.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
