Published | Video Starts at 13:05

We are guilty of the things that we're criticizing other countries of doing. Look, I think my view, I co chaired the Human Rights Commission in Congress. I think if the United States stands for anything, We need to stand out loud and foursquare for human rights. That means not sending people back to dangerous situations, whether it's in Colombia or Haiti or China or anywhere else. Finally, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is coming to Washington. He hasn't met with Trump personally in Washington D.C. since the U.S. and Israel started bombing Iran at the end of February. (13:05–13:16)
