STATEMENT - People Power United issues a statement on Trump attacking Jewish Americans
🗽A well informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 19, 2024
In response to attacks by former President Donald Trump on Jewish Americans, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - issued the following statement:
"Every day, People Power United members push back against antisemitism in our community. It is incredibly disheartening to hear that a presidential candidate and former President like Donald Trump is actively promoting a bloodbath and attacking Jewish Americans.
People Power United will continue to oppose such injustices and hold our leaders accountable to the people they serve. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices," said Laurie Woodward García of People Power United.
In an interview with Seb Gorka, a celebrator of Nazi-linked groups, Donald Trump said this: “Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion, they hate everything about Israel and should be ashamed of themselves.”
Donald Trump has a long history of attacking Jewish Americans:
Trump has reportedly said Adolf Hitler did “some good things”
Trump dined at Mar-a-Lago with white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Fuentes previously said “perfidious Jews” should be executed.
Trump praised some of the neo-Nazi marchers in Charlottesville who chanted “Jews will not replace us” as “very fine people”
Trump, during Rosh Hashanah, attacked Jews who did not support him as wanting to “destroy America.”
Trump shared an antisemitic meme suggesting his opponent was controlled by Jews and their money
Trump has endorsed multiple times a racist conspiracy theory pushed by neo-Nazis against Jews and immigrants
Trump engages in antisemitic tropes all the time
“The only person who should be ashamed here is Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump openly demeans Jewish Americans and reportedly thinks Adolf Hitler ‘did some good things.’ He has said the only people he wants counting his money are ‘short guys wearing yarmulkes,’ and praised neo-Nazis who chanted ‘Jews will not replace us’ as ‘very fine people.’
“Trump is going to lose again this November because Americans are sick of his hateful resentment, personal attacks, and extreme agenda.” -Biden-Harris 2024 Spokesperson James Singer
