Donald Trump came under fire for saying that Jews who vote for Democrats hate their religion.
In an interview on Monday with Sebastian Gorka, a former White House aide of his, Trump was asked about several prominent Democrats’ criticisms of Israel’s government, including Senate Majority Leader and President Joe Biden. Trump responded by accusing Democrats of hating Israel and questioning the faith of the Jewish people who support them.
“Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion,” he added later in the interview. “They hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel will be destroyed.” “Don’t forget, when you see those Palestinian marches — even I am amazed at how many people are in those marches,” Trump said. “And guys like Schumer see that, and to him, it’s votes. I think it’s votes more than anything else because he was always pro-Israel. He’s very anti-Israel now.”
“President Biden has put his foot down when it comes to vile and unhinged Antisemitic rhetoric,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement. “As Antisemitic crimes and acts of hate have increased across the world – among them the deadliest attack committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust – leaders have an obligation to call hate what it is and bring Americans together against it.
