Algemeiner: Top Jewish Groups Condemn Trump Over Comments Targeting Minority Congresswomen

July 17, 2019

Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) Executive Director Halie Soifer said, “President Trump’s appalling diatribe this weekend was a blatant display of racism. His subsequent justification of his hateful rhetoric is a transparent attempt to politicize and use Israel as a diversion, which we strongly reject.”

“Trump has once again exposed himself as America’s ‘Racist in Chief,’ and Republicans’ silence and outright embrace of his views demonstrates their complicity in his hateful agenda,” Soifer continued. “We urge the GOP to reject Trump’s racism, hatred and bigotry as unacceptable, irrespective of the policy positions of those who are under attack.”
