CHICAGO — Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro says that Donald Trump can’t quit him. Or antisemitism.
Shapiro is asked about a social media post in which the former president and Republican nominee singled him out for being the “highly overrated Jewish Governor of the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” and for “refusing to acknowledge” that Trump is the Jewish people’s “best friend.”
Trump also wrote, “Shapiro has done nothing for Israel, and never will.”
Shapiro responds while meeting with state delegations to the Democratic National Convention at a hotel here.
“I think it’s clear over the last few years, Donald Trump is obsessed with me and obsessed with continuing to spew hate and division in our politics,” Shapiro says. “He’s someone who has routinely peddled antisemitic tropes like this.”
