Trump calls Harris’s VP pick ‘an insult to Jewish people’
Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief
Former US president Donald Trump tells Fox News that Vice President Kamala Harris’s selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate was “an insult to Jewish people.”
Harris passed up Jewish Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who faced an aggressive campaign from far-left activists against his selection.
The campaign branded him Genocide Josh even though his record on Israel was largely identical to that of Walz and others on the shortlist, leading to allegations that those behind it were motivated by antisemitism.
