The white house was quick to respond to trumps latest aymen saying quote, as antisemitic crimes and acts of hate of increased across the world among them, the deadliest attack committed against the jewish people since the holocaust, leaders have an obligation to call hate what it is and bring americans together against if there is no justification for spreading toxic false stereotypes that threaten fellow citizens. None unquote that was putting it nicely compared to what the Biden Campaign had to say, which was the only person who should be ashamed here as donald trump, donald trump openly demeans Jewish Americans and reportedly thinks adolf hitler did some good things that last bit is a reference to comments trump made in private to his then Chief Of Staff retired general john kelly. According to cnns own jim sciutto cnns Kristen Holmes is here with more kristen, shocking comments by trump, offensive comments by trump are just going to be what were hearing from now until november or perhaps beyond a jake yeah. When you talk to Campaign Advisers or aids, you dont get any sense that hes going to change his rhetoric, that hes going to tamp down the kind of language that he uses. In fact, they say they know who their candidate is and keep in mind, we have not heard republicans in any way largely coming out to rebuke Donald Trumps comments. And in fact, his campaign doubled down on what he said. And this is what they said in a statement, President Trump is right, the Democrat Party has turned into a full blown antiisrael, antisemitic protests. Terrorist cabal theres a clear Messaging Problem with donald trump and several of these various minority the groups. Two things are true. Donald trumps team believes that there is an opening with Jewish Voters who are unhappy with the way that biden has handled the israelhamas war. This is how donald trump chooses to message to those voters this seems very similar to what we saw last month in South Carolina when Donald Trumps campaign was saying that they saw an opening among black voters and america, only to have Donald Trumps say that black voters liked him because he had been arrested and discriminated against, just like they had essentially tying his own indictments to the years and years of legal discriminations that blacks have faced in this country again just because there are openings does not mean that these groups of people are going to vote for donald trump and they clearly need to work on how exactly he is going two message people if they want to pick up any of these votes instead, ive actually turn voters off yeah Kristen Holmes, not thanks so much. Lets bring in our panel we have with us bill crystal and david from and first of all, just as a factual matter its very clear that there are lots of jews who love being jewish, loved judaism, love israel and vote for democrats. I mean, so what he said is just factually incorrect, but beyond that, its offensive. Youve both worked for republican administrations yet you have also voted for democratic tickets against donald trump. Youre both jewish so you are also qualified to address this because you are donald trump says you hate, you hate israel and you hate judaism as well. I have a particularly intimate relationship with this war. We have a relative of ours in hamas captivity still unaccounted for who is that . What youve interviewed the family the neutral family. Oh, i didnt know that theyre related to you and taken in uniform Fighting Gallantly for israel. I so this is a very intimate matter. Its very wrong needs to be said that first, when you make this amount about loyalty to benjamin netanyahu, the vast majority of the jewish israeli electorate also rejects benjamin netanyahu. So trump has to direct his criticism to them as well. But it is worth remembering what the Biden Administration has done for israel and were now moving on six months since the heinous attacks in october the support has been overwhelming. Biden has visited israel twice with extraordinary personal risk, join great personal courage he mobilize the israeli electorate with a show of his passionate concern. There has been a flow of intelligence information, highly sensitive materials. It is the republicans in the House Of Representatives who have embargoed the president s request for aid. Israel, 13 billion. That President Biden asked for on the 20th of october. And now it is march. And that money is still not ive been voted, but theres one more thing that needs to be said because as we both know, many people in the very Conservative Jewish world who might be inclined to agree with donald trump. And what i would say to them is this, what israel, they should always remember, israels largest economic partner is the european union. Israel, us relationship alone is not enough. Israel needs to be embedded in a Global Community. So if you have a candidate for president who rejects the very idea of a Global Community . Who rejects the idea of us european partnership. He is rejecting israels most important economic allies and offering them only weapons when they need tray, they need to make a living yeah. But what was your response to hearing President Trump say that about about jews and i very much agree with Everything David said substantively, my own responses. I was so disgusted i honestly didnt want to engage it and i didnt engage it. I was writing a newsletter for monday morning and i ended up focusing on trumps salute to the insurrectionists and his promise to pardon them, which i do think its worth more comment. Five, then thats gotten too. Theres so many things trump says, no, we covered yesterday. I know theres somebody thinks trump says worth that are worth comments and reflection and about how really bad they are. And here he just and i found some sickening really that i didnt want to engage it and i thought of even tweeting something that i didnt do it because its always sort of, you know, somebody accuses you of hating your religion and hitting the state of israel. And hes not, he has no standing to do that. I can put it well, thats another thing. Donald trump or Sebastian Gorka for that matter, what you know about how jews feel about judaism, there plenty, neither of them are jewish. They are plenty of debates weve all been involved in over the years, intra jewish debates, i would say make sure. Ive heard Conservative Jews make that argument. Yeah, its bad food. Liberalism is bad for jews and cerner bad for jews this, ive heard both sides make it about the other fair enough. And its usually not made. Its usually made in a way of trying to counsel you though, to improve your political views or understand something you didnt understand about Foreign Policy, not to say youre not a good jew. If you do that right . And thats disgusting. Its just discussed. Ive heard ive heard liberal jews say, how can any jew vote for donald trump . He plays footsie with white supremacists. He plays footsie with nazis, et cetera, et cetera. Ive just never heard a president ial candidate, saying anything like that. Let people say all kinds of foolish things and we cant make this discussion of every foolish thing by every foolish person that america have two hours. But look, what is what is, what has been true and theres been very important for American Jews and support for israel has in the past been a matter for both parties. Yeah, theyre been strong supporters of israel in both parties. And President Biden speaks to that tradition on the left, there is an antiisrael movement that has been very intense in the past few months, and that likes to depict President Biden with his head cut off as if he were a victim of terrorism, too. Sure. And not just saturday as well. Right. I mean, antisemitic in many ways and on and on the right, you see people may profess fondness for the state of israel, but who have very little to say what the safety and security of jewish people here inside the United States and the face of all kinds of hate crimes, some of which come from parts of the world that also give some kind of support to donald trump. Youre just illustrated the jewish dilemma of how their extremists on both sides who hate us, or maybe not both sides. And the Horseshoe Theory they meet in the middle. So what would use have benefited from is a strong bipartisan support for israel, a strong culture of tolerance and mute and fellow feeling. The United States. And that is something that the mainstream of jewish life has always understood and donald trump is worrying at that. And hes doing to the Jewish Community in a way, what he does to the American Community which is to empower the loudest meanest, to turn people against one another for his own advantage. And whatever community youre and hell do it to the portuguese American Community. Good, that he will turn it on itself in order to support himself. Its not for the benefit of this hypothetical portuguese American Community. Its certainly not for the benefit of the Jewish Community. Its for his own benefit with jews of whatever point of view, the victim and bill, i havent heard Mitch Mcconnell or speaker johnson condemn this but you make the argument that maybe they shouldnt even though they should because they Public Officials trump but i dont think either of one of them would know say that. Think that but they need to say version of what david just alluded to at the end, which is george white, what George Washington said in his famous letter and 17 92 newport congregation. You know what the great thing about america is. We dont go around saying youre not a good jew. Youre not a good christian. Youre not entitled to comment on this. You people should be able to worship as they please. They can be two different kinds of jews. They come different kinds of political views that should be out of bounds, right . Criticize the political views, criticize the Foreign Policy views. Dont credit, dont say youre not a good jew. If you think this. And again, its one thing. Again, its a little bit with intro jewish debates. Maybe you can say, look the talmud says about this, even thats a little crazy in my opinion, but yeah, for donald trump to say it and he has just i agree. It really does damage to the not just the jews, really not primarily introduce it does damage to the american understanding of what it means to be a tolerant person in america . Well, the reason i said that, you wouldnt want and i was wrong, that you would want mcconnell and speaker johnson to say anything is because you have suggested that as a campaign strategy, President Biden should ignore donald trump and stop acknowledging him and avoid participating in a debate with him. You write the moment biden personally engages in the argument, it becomes partisan squabbling, becomes one politician to seek, seeking to keep his job against another who wanted it treats this year as an ordinary political campaign. Yeah, not as national emergency, which is what it is yeah, i dont think biden should wait on this. I think ill gothic is entitled to weigh in my General Counsel was let other people he should make the case that hes done a good job governing. You should make their arguments, david made earlier about his Foreign Policy. You should govern i think traveling around the country, taking pot shots at trump isnt terribly effective. It doesnt, it just looks like politics as usual. This guy wants my job. Im going to fight back at him you shouldnt denounce this. So just a slick verbit. Who would have it affect announcing this . Mike pence. Mike Mike McconnellMitch Mcconnell. Yeah i get it. You know what i mean . If youre making No Chrystal David from thanks so much. Thank you.
