Paul Ryan: Exclusion of Jerusalem language from Dem platform is "tragic"

“This is tragic, Brian,” the Republican vice presidential nominee told host Brian Kilmeade of “Fox and Friends.” “First of all, Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Mitt Romney and I are very clear on this and right of return and the other issues you mentioned. But what is so tragic about this is it’s one of the few issues where the republican party and the Democratic party agree on.”…

Ryan said the omission of a declaration that Jersualem is and would continue to be the capital city “undermines our nation’s support for our ally Israel.”

“They should not have driven a wedge into what has been our bipartisan support for Israel,” Ryan continued, noting the party platforms now split on the issue.
