Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer should realize the importance of the House military aid bill for Israel that passed Thursday in "bipartisan fashion," said Rep. John Rutherford, R-Fla.
"They understand the exigency of getting this aid over to Israel. I think Sen. Schumer should realize that ... and recognize that we have a $33 trillion deficit, and we have to do this in a responsible way," he added. The measure passed 226-196, largely along party lines, a shift from typical strongly bipartisan congressional support for providing aid to Israel. Twelve Democrats voted with 214 Republicans for the bill, and two Republicans joined 194 Democrats in objecting.
