We have seen this over and over again. He’s a bigot.
Is there any negative precedent for a political leader appointing himself as the adjudicator of Jewish identity and suggesting that those he disapproves of "go out"? https://t.co/iUs7q7GQbl

Trump believes he’s entitled to support from Jewish Americans. When he doesn’t get it, he immediately defaults to the Bad Jew trope — normalizing antisemitism in a way that endangers Jews, all of us, and our democracy.

It couldn’t be that all their hyper-ventilating hasn’t been entirely in good faith?
Josh Shapiro refuses to be Trump's talking point on antisemitism: "Trump is the least credible person to listen to when it comes to hate&bigotry and certainly antisemitism. He's trying to use me. He's trying to use other Jews to divide Americans further."https://t.co/Zd8ZaxIb6k
