Harris spokesperson says Trump clinging to ‘fearmongering and intimidation’ after comments about Jewish Americans

A spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris denounces former president Donald Trump’s claim that Jewish Americans would be to blame if he loses the November elections.

“Donald Trump is resorting to the oldest antisemitic tropes in the book because he’s weak and can’t stand the fact that the majority of America is going to reject him in November,” the spokesperson says to the Times of Israel. “But we know that words like these can have serious consequences.”

“As Trump has proven, including over the past few weeks with his lies about Springfield, Ohio, he will cling to fearmongering and intimidation, no matter the cost,” says the spokesperson, referring to lies repeated by the former president about Haitian immigrants eating pets.

“When Donald Trump loses this election, it will be because Americans from all faiths, ethnicities, and backgrounds came together to turn the page on the divisiveness he demonstrates every day.”
