Schumer ends DNC address by slamming Trump as ‘a guy who peddles antisemitic stereotypes’

CHICAGO — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer closes his speech on the second night of the Democratic National Convention by speaking out against antisemitism, using the opportunity to attack Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“As the highest ranking Jewish elected official in American history, I want my grandkids and all grandkids to never face discrimination because of who they are,” he says to applause.

“But Donald Trump – this is a guy who peddles antisemitic stereotypes. He even invited a white supremacist to Mar-a-Lago for dinner,” he says, referring to Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, who the former president hosted alongside rapper Kanye West.

“Unfortunately, [Trump’s] prejudice goes in all directions,” Schumer says, highlighting the former president’s ban on immigration from mostly Muslim-majority countries.

The top Democratic senator points to the blue square pin on his suit — part of a campaign raising awareness to combat antisemitism.
