Pence to Friedman: You were born for this job

Vice President Mike Pence, who spoke on Wednesday before swearing in David Friedman as Ambassador to Israel, said that President Donald Trump “is a lifelong friend of Israel and the Jewish people, and under his leadership, if the world knows nothing else, the world will know this: America stands with Israel.”

“One of the clearest signs of the President’s commitment to the State of Israel and to its people is in his choice of David Friedman as America’s Ambassador to Israel,” continued Pence, who told Friedman, “You were literally born for this job. It’s because of families like yours that the Jewish people are such a beautiful thread and fabric of this nation.”
