“Donald Trump accused Jews who vote for Democrats of hating their religion and Israel, reviving and escalating a claim he made as president that Jewish Democrats were disloyal,” the New York Times reports.
“He made his remarks in an interview published online on Monday with Sebastian Gorka, a former White House aide for Mr.
Trump who now hosts a conservative talk radio program. Mr. Gorka asked Mr. Trump about criticism that prominent Democrats — including President Biden and Senator Chuck Schumer, the majority leader — had levied against Benjamin Netanyahu, the right-wing prime minister of Israel.”Said Trump: “I actually think they hate Israel… Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.”
He added: “They hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel will be destroyed.”
