Trump has seized on recent infighting in the Democratic Party over comments from Omar that were widely perceived as using anti-Semitic tropes and called on the freshman lawmaker to resign over those remarks. Late last month, Trump claimed that Democrats are an ā€œanti-Israelā€ and ā€œanti-Jewishā€ party, even though Jews have historically voted more Democratic than Republican.

It is with profound regret that Republicans will ask President Trump to resign for this anti-Semitic trope. Waitā€¦whatā€™s that? They wonā€™t? That it only applies to Democrats?

tRump is a ā€œYou Peopleā€ type of guy. In his mind all Jews fully support Israel and itā€™s leadership. Remember, this is the guy that asked African Americans what in the hell do you have to lose? HEā€™s the guy that responded to the Popeā€™s criticism of him by saying he would scare the Pope by saying ISIS was coming for him. Heā€™s described Hispanics entering the US illegally as an infestation. Heā€™s referred to majority minority countries as shitholes. Look at his treatment of Puerto Rico, and as a bonus how he refers to Puerto Ricans as anything but US citizens.*

  • I believe that part of tRumpā€™s problems with Puerto Ricans is how heā€™s treated, or tried to treat, Puerto Ricans working at his hotels and resorts. Since heā€™s probably unable to conceive of Puerto Rico as a US territory, he probably can think of Puerto Ricans as citizens and not as illegals for wherever. Plus he had a failed golf course in Puerto Rico.

And then thereā€™s the time he asked a black woman reporter to arrange a meeting for him with members of the Congressional Black Caucus, I believe it was, because obviously all ā€˜thoseā€™ people know each other. He is an unadulterated bigot who thinks he isnā€™t.

Admittedly I didnā€™t watch, but I assume neither Kushner nor Ivanka were on any of the Sunday morning news shows to discuss this, given they are Trumpā€™s closes advisors.

Well at least Trump isnā€™t their President.

Do any Republican Jews actually care if their own president insults them like this? Iā€™m guessing no.

But Iā€™m sure the Republican Nazis approve.

Typical tRump.

Bibi? Heā€™s just the tRump familyā€™s little secret from the time Fred visited a kibbutz.

Golda Meirā€¦now THAT was a Prime Minister!

Huhā€¦ Pretty sure that a Black Muslim Female Congressmember was roundly criticized by all parties for using the term ā€œallegianceā€ in a sentence.

I expect no less than multiple days of headlines and calls for censure, as that appears to be the standard applied.

American evangelicals hold more of a dual loyalty than anyone.

Right?!! While I did feel that Rep. Omar needed to do a better job with her words and I also appreciated that some Jewish folks took honest offense, Iā€™m gonna need to see the same media outrage. Thereā€™s not a dimes worth of difference between the interpretation of what she clumsily said and what he obviously said and meant. Again, Iā€™ll be damned if Iā€™m going to tell another minority group how to feel as is so often done to black people by even our white allies, so Iā€™m not going to tell Jewish people how to feel about this. However, this is a blatant suggestion that Jewish Americans are or should be more loyal to Israel than this country. Itā€™s really gross.
