"I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat -- it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty."

Donald J. Trump
President of the United States of America

The lack of condemnation is support for this smear against American Jews. I swear the GOP will find itself out of business post Trump for acquiescing with white nationalism and now an attack on American Jews calling them disloyal for being blue voters for the most part.

Well fubar you found one so far who would explicitly defend it rather than support it by remaining silent.

Defend the comment, or defend against your disingenuous assertion of what it means?

I made no assertion. I simply posted the quote and asked a question.

Kind of an odd statement considering American Jews tend to favor Democrat candidates, with 71% of Jewish voters choosing Democrat candidates and only 25% choosing Republicans since 1968.

Are some Democrats antisemitic? Yes.
Are some Republicans antisemitic? Yes.
Does criticizing Israel make you antisemitic? Not necessarily.
Does unconditionally accepting everything Israel does make you non-antisemitic? Not necessarily.

Sure. Right after someone explains all the comments about blacks, hispanics, gays, etc voting for Republicans.

Or stinques stupid thread about black trump supporters.

Or the comments about how us white men are evil and the problem.

The Root article on Trump voters was on point. People like you should be exposed to black media and black thought nor centered around buffoons like Cindy Owens and diamond and silk.

They can't handle when someone like Candace Owens busts their narrative. Cinque likes being the victim. That way, nothing is her fault. Her lack of job, etc...

Jewish groups:
The American Jewish Committee condemned the president's comments. AJC CEO David Harris said the president's comments are "shockingly divisive and unbecoming of the occupant of the highest elected office. American Jews like all Americans have a range of political views and policy priorities. His assessment of their knowledge or 'loyalty,' based on their party preference, is inappropriate, unwelcome, and downright dangerous."
Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt tweeted, "It's unclear who POTUS is claiming Jews would be 'disloyal' to, but charges of disloyalty have long been used to attack Jews. As we've said before, it's possible to engage in the democratic process without these claims. It's long overdue to stop using Jews as a political football."
Logan Bayroff, J Street's director of communications, said in a statement: "It is no surprise that the president's racist, disingenuous attacks on progressive women of color in Congress have now transitioned into smears against Jews."
Israel Policy Forum said on Twitter that Trump's comments "are appalling but unsurprising given his record of inappropriate remarks as well as his efforts to leverage Israel as a wedge issue in U.S. politics."
The Zioness Movement released a statement saying that the president "casually employed several of the most explicitly antisemitic conspiracy theories in the same breath. This is the kind of bigotry that has sparked humanity's worst impulses and greatest catastrophes."
The Bend the Arc Jewish activist group wrote that Trump's statement is "textbook antisemitism and should be called out as such, without hesitation."
Earlier on Tuesday, in an interview on Fox News' "America's Newsroom," White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said that Trump reserves the right to escalate his attacks against the Democratic congresswomen because he "is standing up for the American people, he's standing up for our ally in Israel, but these two women are clearly against the existence even of Israel."
Gidley went on to slam the "disingenuous" media for refusing "to call out antisemitism for what it is The Democrats are encouraging this behavior and the media are allowing it to happen."

You're right - Obama's was 100% racist.
Trump was just saying because of the Fab 4's anti semitic anti Israel/Jewish statements, it would be an insult if they voted for the Democrat party who is not calling them out on their racist remarks.

Trump's similar comment to Obama would be...

Imagine if Trump said it would be an insult to my legacy if White people didn't vote for the next Republican. Could you imagine the outrage.

And:

Quote:

---

The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) defended the president. "It shows a great deal of disloyalty to oneself to defend a party that protects/emboldens people that hate you for your religion," the RJC tweeted.

Matt Brooks, RJC's executive director, tells JI: "Of course the president was not trafficking in dual loyalty and antisemitism. The reality is that what the president gave voice to is a question that I get all the time in all of my speeches, in large part from folks who aren't Jewish and want to understand how people in the Jewish community given the issues that are important to them can support the policies of individuals like Omar and Tlaib. You know, it's a question that has a lot of people scratching their heads."
