Trump On Dems Pulling Out Of AIPAC: ‘Frankly, I Think They’re Anti-Jewish’

President Trump dug into his belief that Democrats are “anti-Jewish” when asked about some Democratic presidential candidates’ decision to skip the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference this year.

“The Democrats have very much proven to be anti-Israel,” he said. “There’s no question about that. And it’s a disgrace. I mean, I don’t know what’s happened to them. But they are totally anti-Israel. Frankly, I think they’re anti-Jewish.”

He’s cast the same aspersions before. When Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) faced criticism for her remarks about AIPAC and pro-Israeli advocates’ “allegiance to a foreign country,” Trump called Democrats anti-Jewish and tweeted about a group that encourages Jewish people to leave the Democratic Party.

  2. It’s about time Dems realized all these political lobbying outfits like the NRA and IAPAC are nothing but fronts for radical conservative terrorists.
