Trump claimed during the interview that Democrats do not want to talk about Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel on October 7 because Biden “is no fan of Israel.”
“Any Jewish person that votes for Biden does not love Israel and frankly, should be spoken to,” Trump said.
Trump argued that Biden is “totally on the side of Palestinians” and suggested that Jewish and Black people vote for Democrats “by habit.”
Responding to Trump's comment, the Biden campaign on Monday night said in a post on social media, "Trump appears to threaten Jewish Americans who vote against him: They, frankly, should be spoken to."
Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee in the November election, made similar comments last month, when he lashed out at the Democratic Party and at Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats.
In an interview with Sebastian Gorka on his radio show, Trump said, “The Democrat Party hates Israel…they also see a lot of votes. Don't forget, when you see those Palestinian marches, even I am amazed at how many people are in those marches. And guys like Schumer see that and to him it’s votes. I think it's votes more than anything else because he was always pro-Israel. He's very anti-Israel now.”
Trump then said, “Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion. They hate everything about Israel and they should be ashamed of themselves.”
Last September, Trump criticized liberal Jews in a post on his Truth Social platform on Rosh Hashanah.
The unusual “greeting” from Trump included a graphic stating, "Just a quick reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America & Israel because you believed in false narratives!"
It added, "Let’s hope you learned from your mistake & make better choices moving forward! Happy New Year!”
A year prior, the former US President argued that American Jews do not appreciate what he has done for Israel.
“No President has done more for Israel than I have. Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S.,” he wrote.
“Those living in Israel, though, are a different story - Highest approval rating in the World, could easily be P.M.! U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel - Before it is too late!” added Trump.
