Amid a wave of criticism for his comment that American Jews who vote Democrat are demonstrating either a “total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty,” Trump doubled down on Wednesday, specifying to the press that when he said they were being “disloyal,” he meant to the Jewish people and to Israel.
Trump first made his much-criticized “disloyalty” comments on Tuesday when blasting the Democratic Party for embracing Reps. Ilhan Omar (MN) and Rashida Tlaib (MI), who have come out in support of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and have repeatedly engaged in anti-Israel and anti-Semitic rhetoric. After being banned from traveling to Israel because of their support of BDS, the radical congresswomen are now calling for the U.S. to stop providing aid to Israel, a new effort Trump blasted Tuesday.
