Trump says Jewish Democratic voters 'hate their religion' in radio interview

In an interview with former White House aide Sebastian Gorka published March 18, 2024, Trump said, 'Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion, they hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel will be destroyed.' The comments came amid criticism from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and members of the Biden administration of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The remark drew immediate criticism from the White House, the Biden campaign, and Jewish organizations, which described it as invoking a dual-loyalty framing long used to question American Jews' allegiance to the United States. It was one of several similar statements Trump made about Jewish Democratic voters over the course of the 2024 campaign.
