Democrats and the White House blasted former President Donald Trump‘s claims about Jewish voters electing Democrats, calling the claims “vile and unhinged Antisemitic rhetoric.”
During a radio interview with Sebastian Gorka on Monday, Trump said that “any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion” while hammering Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who is Jewish, for their criticisms of the Israeli government as it fights a war with Hamas in Gaza. The uproar from Democrats, especially Jewish Democrats, was swift.
The White House slammed Trump’s comments, arguing there is “no justification for spreading toxic, false stereotypes that threaten fellow citizens.”
“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 to the Washington Examiner. “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.”
