In response to Vivek Ramaswamy\u2019s calling<\/a> for the U.S. to withhold aid to Israel, DNC spokesperson Sarafina Chitika released the following statement:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cBy calling to withhold aid to Israel, Vivek Ramaswamy continues to show that he is a foreign policy amateur and is completely out of his depth as the world looks to the United States for strong leadership. Ramaswamy\u2019s shameful history of calling to halt aid to our key ally proves what Americans know to be true: MAGA Republicans are too dangerous and extreme to be trusted with power \u2013 both at home and abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The latest in a long history of calling to withhold U.S. aid to Israel, Ramaswamy had the gall to double down on his extreme plan in an ally\u2019s time of need. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cRepublican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Saturday suggested the U.S. should not provide more military aid to Israel until the government can outline what happens after invading Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018The U.S. should be clear with Israel that further U.S. support is contingent on Israel identifying clear objectives for success in Gaza and a coherent plan for what comes after toppling Hamas even if Israel is successful in doing so. As of now, these critical questions remain unanswered,\u2019 he said.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Reminder: Ramaswamy has repeatedly called to pause aid to Israel.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
