Former president Donald Trump is facing criticism for recent comments about the Jewish community, claiming that Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats are “absolute fools.”
The American Jewish Committee (AJC), a global Jewish advocacy group, condemned Trump’s remarks. “At a time when antisemitism is at record levels, the statement by the former president is divisive and potentially dangerous,” the AJC stated to ABC News.
“Jews as a group should not be targeted for their beliefs or how they choose to vote. Even more problematic is when individuals are singled out or targeted,” referring to recent comments made specifically about Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, who is Jewish.
