In a strong statement, former president Donald Trump said Jewish voters will have to bear a lot of blame if he loses the November election. “If I don’t win this election, and the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens, because at 40 per cent, that means 60 per cent of the people are voting for the enemy,” he told the audience of prominent Jewish Republicans.
His percentage was based on a Pew Research Center's survey that Jewish voters favor Kamala Harris for president over Trump by 65 per cent to 34 per cent.
“That means you’ve got 60 per cent voted for somebody that hates Israel. And I say it — it’s going to happen — it’s only because of the Democrat hold or curse on you,” he said. “You can’t let this happen. Forty per cent is not acceptable, because we have an election to win.”
“I will put it to you very simply and gently: I really haven’t been treated right, but you haven’t been treated right, because you’re putting yourself in great danger," he said.
If Kamala Harris wins the election, Israel will face a total annihilation, Trump said. “Rockets will rain down from above until the Iron Dome has been exhausted."
“Kamala Harris has done absolutely nothing. She has not lifted a single finger to protect you or to protect your children,” Trump said. “I’m the one that’s protecting you. These are the people who are going destroy you and you have 60 per cent of Jewish people essentially voting for that.”
Kamala Harris husband Doug Emhoff who is a Jewish reacted to Donald Trump's comments. "Last night, Donald Trump once again fanned the flames of antisemitism by trafficking in tropes blaming and scapegoating Jews. He even did it at an event purporting to fight antisemitism, no less. This is dangerous and must be condemned. We will not be intimidated and will continue to live openly, proudly, and without fear as Jews," Doug said.
