Christians United For Israel has more than 400 people in town this week — hailing from nearly every state in the union — to lobby against Chuck Hagel’s nomination as defense secretary.
The group’s founder and chairman, controversial pastor John Hagee, introduced Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, to the group’s Monday night dinner gathering in a Capitol Hill hotel ballroom.
Cornyn sought to fire up some of the ground troops who will be working against Hagel, a Republican who represented Nebraska in the Senate for two terms.
“This is not a matter of personalities. This is not a matter of politics. This is a matter about preserving America’s leadership in the world,” Cornyn said. “And this is about being a true friend to our allies and showing our enemies that we are united against the threat of terrorism and against the threat of a nuclear Iran.”
