A comment of Tammy Bruce, the spokesperson of the US State Department, resurfaced after the US attacked Iran's nuclear sites -- a move that the majority of the MAGA activists and supporters disapprove of. In an interview with Israel's i24 News, Tammy Bruce said America is the greatest country on earth, but then added 'next to Israel'.
While no one took note of the comment when Bruce made it in the interview, now that the US has joined Israel's war against Iran, the comment surfaced, with MAGA calling for her immediate dismissal from her post.
In the interview, she also clarified that she is not a Jew but an Italian. She told Mike Wagenheim that she was "sadly not" Jewish though many people think so. She said that after the 2023 attack by the Palestinian terror group Hamas against Israel, she bought a Star of David necklace to wear on the air to show her affinity with the Jewish people.
"The pride of being able to be here (State Department) and do work that facilitates making things better for people, and in the greatest country on Earth," Bruce said adding immediately, "next to Israel!"
"And 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 a real honor."
"If Tammy Bruce isn’t fired immediately for putting America second to Israel, then it can no longer be denied that the United States, under MAGA President Trump, has subordinated its sovereignty completely to Israel," one wrote.
"She should be fired on the spot for this. Her allegiance is not to America. WOW," another wrote. "I may be going out on a limb here but I think ALL spokesmen for the State Department, of all departments, should believe America is the greatest country on earth as a prerequisite for their position..." a third user added.
Tammy Bruce reacted to the outrage and told Newsweek: "My work obviously speaks for itself, which is a reflection of my love for the United States, as I said in that interview, the greatest country on Earth. The assertion by certain anonymous users online is a typically out-of-context and absurd effort to create fake news for clicks and to smear."
