Writes Ginny Garner:
Lew,
In this clip from a 1988 episode of Crossfire Barry Goldwater explains to Pat Buchanan the influence the Israeli lobby has over members of Congress and its control over America.
The two most illuminating interviews of major US politicians on the US/Israel relationship in years were the ones with Cruz and now Huckabee: both conducted by Tucker Carlson. Right?
