Jewish Democratic Council of America executive director Halie Soifer denounced the president’s speech.

“Tonight, we witnessed a State of the Union address delivered by a president whose egregious wrongdoings are clear to the American people, and whose policies, rhetoric and behavior are antithetical to Jewish and American values,” she said in a statement.
