Statement on Trump Attacking Jewish Americans, Again

Trump: “Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.”

Donald Trump, fresh off back-to-back disastrous public appearances calling to cut Social Security and Medicare on CNBC and saying there will be a “bloodbath” if he loses in November – is now attacking Jewish Americans at a time of rising antisemitism.

In an interview with Seb Gorka, a celebrator of Nazi-linked groups, Donald Trump said this:

“Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion, they hate everything about Israel and should be ashamed of themselves.”

Donald Trump has a long history of attacking Jewish Americans:

• Trump has reportedly said Adolf Hitler did “some good things”
• Trump dined at Mar-a-Lago with white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Fuentes previously said “perfidious Jews” should be executed.
• Trump praised some of the neo-Nazi marchers in Charlottesville who chanted “Jews will not replace us” as “very fine people”
• Trump, during Rosh Hashanah, attacked Jews who did not support him as wanting to “destroy America.”
• Trump shared an antisemitic meme suggesting his opponent was controlled by Jews and their money
• Trump has endorsed multiple times a racist conspiracy theory pushed by neo-Nazis against Jews and immigrants
• Trump engages in antisemitic tropes all the time

Biden-Harris 2024 Spokesperson James Singer released the following statement:

“The only person who should be ashamed here is Donald Trump.

“Donald Trump openly demeans Jewish Americans and reportedly thinks Adolf Hitler ‘did some good things.’ He has said the only people he wants counting his money are ‘short guys wearing yarmulkes,’ and praised neo-Nazis who chanted ‘Jews will not replace us’ as ‘very fine people.’

“Trump is going to lose again this November because Americans are sick of his hateful resentment, personal attacks, and extreme agenda.”
