WARREN, MI - OCTOBER 01: Former President Donald Trump throws hats into the crowd during a Save America rally on October 1, 2022 in Warren, Michigan.
Trump has endorsed Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon, Secretary of State candidate Kristina Karamo, Attorney General candidate Matthew DePerno, and Republican businessman John James ahead of the November midterm election. WASHINGTON — The White House on Monday sharply condemned former President Donald Trump’s ominous warning to American Jews, which he made in a social media post the day before.
“U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel — before it is too late!" Trump wrote in a Sunday post on Truth Social, the ex-president’s Twitter-like social media network. Trump also praised evangelical Christians for supporting his record on Israel more “than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S.
On Monday, White House press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre added the Biden administration to the chorus of critics. “Donald Trump's comments were antisemitic and insulting both to Jews and our Israeli allies,” she said in response to a reporter’s question. Jean-Pierre also charged that Trump had consistently “aligned with extremist and antisemitic figures. And it should be called out.”
Separately, Jean-Pierre also announced that Israeli president Isaac Herzog would visit Biden in Washington on Oct. 26. In a subsequent statement, she said the visit would serve to reaffirm “the enduring partnership and friendship” between the two nations.
