US EditionRepublican to Oppose Trump Nominee for Senior Diplomatic Post over Remarks on Israel, Jews
Sen. John Curtis opposes Jeremy Carl's nomination, citing anti-Israel and insensitive Jewish remarks, risking a Senate Foreign Relations Committee deadlock in a narrowly divided chamber.
- On Thursday, Sen. John Curtis announced he will oppose Jeremy Carl's nomination for assistant secretary of state for international organizations, a move likely to crush it.
- Curtis said he reviewed Carl's record and cited `I find his anti-Israel views and insensitive remarks about the Jewish people unbecoming of the position for which he has been nominated`.
- Records and prior remarks show Jeremy Carl deleted at least 5,000 X posts, promoted the 'great replacement' theory, wrote The Unprotected Class, and questioned U.S. aid to Israel.
- With a 12-10 GOP advantage, Curtis's opposition stalls the nomination, as a single 'no' creates an 11-11 deadlock preventing full Senate consideration.
