The Jewish Democratic Council of America denounced Trump’s speech as lies and fantasy, saying policy between the United States and Israel should be bipartisan and not pivot parties against one another.

“Trump’s claims of Republicans ‘doing well’ in the 2018 election and of American Jews leaving the Democratic Party are completely false. This is a fantasy of the Republican Party,” said the organization’s executive director Halie Soifer. “What happened today in Las Vegas was a shameful display of lies and arrogance. We hope Trump’s continued assault on decency and truth will stay in Vegas.”
