Trump Again Promotes 'Jexodus,' Says Republicans Are 'Waiting With Open Arms'
- 5 years ago
President Trump on Friday again promoted "Jexodus" on Twitter.
President Trump on Friday again suggested there is anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party.
"The 'Jexodus' movement encourages Jewish people to leave the Democrat Party," Trump wrote in a Friday tweet. "Total disrespect! Republicans are waiting with open arms. Remember Jerusalem (U.S. Embassy) and the horrible Iran Nuclear Deal! @OANN @foxandfriends." Days prior, he shared a quote on the matter. 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: "The Democrats hate Jewish people." When questioned about the matter, she replied: "I think that's a question you ought to ask the Democrats."
