Jewish lobbying group slams Clinton for Kaine pick

A conservative Jewish lobbying organization slammed presumptive Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton for selecting Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine as her running mate late Friday.

Republican Jewish Coalition said that, if elected, the former secretary of state and her vice president would continue the “same failed policies that have made the U.S. and our allies around the world less safe.”

“After leading President Obama’s disastrous foreign policy in the Middle East, Hillary Clinton’s selection of Senator Kaine as her running mate further proves she cannot be trusted to keep our country safe,” RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said in a statement.

“Whether it’s his vote for the Iran deal, which paves the way to a nuclear-armed Iran, or his proud support of the progressive anti-Israel J Street agenda which earned him their enthusiastic endorsement, Senator Kaine has shown how out of touch he is on the dangers facing our country,” Brooks continued.

RJC has 44 regional chapters and has called itself the leading voice for conservative Jewish-Americans.
