CHICAGO — Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign tears into former US president Donald Trump for “consistently denigrating” American Jews after he highlighted Josh Shapiro’s faith in a post that criticized the Pennsylvania governor and claimed Harris “hates Israel.”
“There is one candidate in this race who consistently denigrates American Jews, elevates Neo-Nazis, and traffics in antisemitic tropes, and it is Donald Trump,” says a Harris spokesperson in a statement touting the records of Harris and her running mate Tim Walz in combating antisemitism.
The White House also calls out Trump for highlighting Shapiro’s faith in the social media post.
“It is antisemitic, dangerous, and hurtful to attack a fellow American by calling out their Jewish faith in a derogatory way, or perpetuating the centuries-old smear of ‘dual loyalty,'” says Principal Deputy Communications Director Herbie Ziskind in a statement.
