… “You should have your head examined, because it will face an unceasing, bloody war to obliterate the Jewish state and drive Jews out of the Holy Land,” Trump said about Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats.

Twice on Thursday, the former president said he believed “the Jewish people would have a lot to do with” a loss if Kamala Harris defeated him.

Second gentleman Douglas Emhoff ripped former President Trump on Friday for his remarks at an event raising awareness for combating antisemitism in which the GOP nominee suggested Jewish people would partly shoulder the blame if he loses in November.

The speech also marked the first time that Trump explicitly said that American Jews who vote for Democrats harm American interests.

Donald Trump told a campaign event denouncing antisemitism that, if he doesn't win the election, "the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss."

Trump claimed at the event that he has not been "treated right" by Jewish voters despite claiming to be the "most popular person in Israel."

Former President Trump's latest inflammatory remarks about Jewish voters have Republicans in Congress again trying to perform a careful balancing act. Why it matters: It is a dynamic with which GOP lawmakers will have to familiarize themselves if Trump is elected president in November.

Social media critics roundly denounced former President Donald Trump suggestion Thursday that if he loses the 2024 election to Vice President Kamala Harris, Jewish people would have a "lot to do with" it.
