Paul Ryan gets nod, GOP Jews pop champagne
Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan has been elected House speaker, taking over for John Boehner.
The Republican Jewish Committee is quick to congratulate Ryan, calling him “a stalwart ally of the pro-Israel community and a longtime friend of Israel.”
“The Obama administration has been antagonistic and hostile to Israel and the pro-Israel community. We can think of no one better than Paul Ryan to lead the effort to stand up against the dangerous and destructive policies of this White House and truly have Israel’s back,” the group says in a statement.
