Journalist Ken Klippenstein has drawn attention to an overlooked remark made by State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce last month saying that the United States is "the greatest country on earth, next to Israel." "The pride of being able to be here and do work that facilitates making things better for people and in the greatest country on Earth, next to Israel," Bruce told Jewish News Syndicate. "It's an honor to be able to make a difference and to be able to speak in this regard with an administration that I love so much and that I feel genuinely represented by." It's like this administration is doing everything it can to vindicate those who accuse it of being Israel First instead of America First.
