Former President Donald Trump on Monday railed against Jewish people who vote for Democrats, arguing that they “hate” Israel and “their religion.”

“Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion,” the presumptive GOP nominee for president said during an appearance on the “America First with Sebastian Gorka” podcast.

“They hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel will be destroyed [under Democratic leadership],” Trump added, noting Iran’s ambition to create a nuclear weapon and the Biden administration’s easing of sanctions against the US adversary.

…taking exception to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) recent criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of the Jewish state’s war against Hamas.

Trump argued that by criticizing Netanyahu, Schumer is trying to win over demonstrators participating in large-scale anti-Israel protests.

“Guys like Schumer see that – and to him it’s votes,” the 45th president said. “I think it’s votes more than anything else, because he was always pro-Israel.”

“He’s very anti-Israel now,” he added.

The Biden campaign slammed Trump over his remarks.
