The Washington Post: Trump says Democratic Party is ‘anti-Israel’ and ‘anti-Jewish’

By John Wagner

Trump’s comments Friday prompted rebukes from several Democratic lawmakers and advocacy groups, including the Jewish Democratic Council of America.

“We are appalled, but not surprised, that President Trump has once again demonstrated dishonesty, hypocrisy, and willingness to use anti-Semitism and Israel as a political football,” Halie Soifer, the group’s executive director, said in a statement.
