White House won’t say if Trump thinks Democrats hate Jews by stableford
The White House on Monday defended President Trump’s assertion that the Democratic Party has become “anti-Israel” and “anti-Jewish,” with press secretary Sarah Sanders sparring with reporters who challenged the president’s claim.
“The Democrats have become an anti-Israel party. They’ve become an anti-Jewish party,” Trump told reporters on the South Lawn Friday. “And I thought that vote was a disgrace.” Axios, quoting attendees at a Republican dinner at Mar-a-Lago, said Trump later summarized his view as: “The Democrats hate Jewish people.”
In January, King was banned from committee assignments for the next two years after lamenting in an interview that white supremacy and white nationalism have become offensive terms. Trump himself did not condemn the remarks, as ABC’s Jon Karl pointed out to Sanders.Sanders maintained that Trump has renounced King’s views, but in private. “I speak on behalf of the president on a number of topics, and I’ve talked about that a number of times,” she said.
