Professor Stephen Farnsworth of the University of Mary Washington said: “There are two winners in this story. The congresswoman who wants to demonstrate that Israel is less of a democracy than it purports to be and the president who wants to make sure that people on the Democratic side come to the defense of the Democratic congresswomen who are so controversial. Donald Trump has a very, very good sense of how to build up outrage and anger in America and how to convert that to his political advantage. This is another example of that.”
