Many Republicans are finding ways to place the bulk of the blame for Trump's war in Iran elsewhere, such as on Israel or his advisers, rather than holding him accountable.
I will tell you that AIPAC may call itself pro-American. They may call themselves pro-Israel, Van Hollen told the J Street crowd. But they are neither. They have been a very destructive influence. And it is time to call them out. And the American people are catching on.
