Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed Israel for holding “incredible influence” over the U.S. Congress, citing lobby-funded trips that pressure lawmakers to back Tel Aviv.
In an interview on The Megyn Kelly Show on Tuesday, Greene said no other country enjoys the level of political leverage in the U.S. as Israel.
"Israel is the only country I know of that has some sort of incredible influence and control over nearly every single one of my colleagues,” she said.
Her comments came as Kelly described receiving repeated invitations and pressure to travel to Israel. "I have had multiple, multiple reach outs to me, both from friends and from connected people in D.C., begging me to go to Israel with them. And I have said no every time,” Kelly said, adding that the outreach had intensified in recent months in light of her criticism of Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip.
Greene argued that activities by the pro-Israel American lobby, the Israel Political Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, amount to foreign lobbying without accountability.
