'Donald Trump is resorting to the oldest antisemitic tropes,' her campaign said.
Harris campaign, Jewish groups fiercely criticize Trump preemptively blaming Jewish voters if he losesRepublican presidential nominee, former U.S. President Donald Trump, speaks before prominent Jewish donors at an event titled"Fighting Anti-Semitism in America" at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill on September 19, 2024, in Washington, D.C. saying Jewish voters would be to blame if he lost the presidential election.
"When Donald Trump loses this election, it will be because Americans from all faiths, ethnicities, and backgrounds came together to turn the page on the divisiveness he demonstrates every day," Finkelstein added."Last night, Donald Trump once again fanned the flames of antisemitism by trafficking in tropes blaming and scapegoating Jews. He even did it at an event purporting to fight antisemitism, no less," Emhoff wrote. "This is dangerous and must be condemned.
Some Jewish voters will vote for Harris, and some will vote for Trump, the AJC said, adding that "None of us, by supporting the candidate we choose, is 'voting for the enemy.'" Amy Spitalnick, who leads the progressive-leaning Jewish Council for Public Affairs, encouraged more people to join growing chorus slamming Trump's comment.
Matt Brooks, the CEO of the organization, told ABC News in a phone interview that he thought the comments about Jewish voters and the election were about motivating Jewish voters, and that Democratic claims otherwise are a deflection.
