Right-wing news website Breitbart runs as its top story a piece calling Bill Kristol, a vehement critic of Donald Trump, a “renegade Jew.”
The article, by FrontPage Magazine editor David Horowitz, has as its headline “Bill Kristol: Republican Spoiler, Renegade Jew.”
In the Sunday article, Horowitz slams Kristol — the prominent Jewish conservative commentator and editor of The Weekly Standard — for opposing Trump’s candidacy even since he became the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
At the very end, Horowitz mentions what he thinks voting for someone other than Trump would mean for Jews.
“To weaken the only party that stands between the Jews and their annihilation, and between America and the forces intent on destroying her, is a political miscalculation so great and a betrayal so profound as to not be easily forgiven,” he writes.
