Trump Tweets Quote Claiming Democrats Don't Care About Jewish People, Promotes 'Jexodus'
- 5 years ago
President Trump again slammed Democrats on Tuesday.
President Trump shared a quote that claims there is anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party and that anti-Israel policies started under former President Barack Obama. He wrote in a Tuesday tweet: "'Jewish people are leaving the Democratic Party. We saw a lot of anti Israel policies start under the Obama Administration, and it got worsts & worse. There is anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party. They don't care about Israel or the Jewish people.' Elizabeth Pipko, Jexodus." The #Jexodus movement has a website and, on it, describes itself as a group of "Jewish Millennials tired of living in bondage to leftist politics. We reject the hypocrisy, anti-Americanism, and anti-Semitism of the rising far-left. Progressives, Democrats, and far too many old-school Jewish organizations take our support for granted." Notably, the day prior to Trump's tweet promoting the group, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders would neither confirm nor deny reports that, at a Friday Republican event at Mar-a-Lago, Trump said that "the Democrats hate Jewish people." When questioned about the matter, she replied: "I think that's a question you ought to ask the Democrats."
