Trump tells RNC donors: "The Democrats hate Jewish people"

Last edited Sun Mar 10, 2019, 07:51 PM - Edit history (1)

To prevent leaks from Trump's Friday night Mar-a-Lago speech to RNC donors, security guards made attendees put their cellphones in magnetized pouches that they carried around like purses until they left the club.

So leakers had to rely on their memories. Trump entered to Lee Greenwood’s "Proud to Be an American," then launched into one of his trademark stream-of-consciousness speeches, according to three people who were there. They said the crowd roared with laughter throughout.

Some of his remarks raised eyebrows.

1. Referring to the recent anti-Semitism controversies with Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, Trump told the donors: "The Democrats hate Jewish people."

a bug. They never anticipated the depth of his depravity. It’s only matched by their own. I don’t know that we get this turned around. I hope and do everything I can.

He got some boos, but his deplorable base and their confederates voted for him anyway.

i think jews are the democratic party's most loyal constituency after african americans.

given that the republican party seems to support and encourage and never have a cross word to say about white supremacists, neo-nazis, the kkk, and christian religious fanatics who spread hate and intolerance of anyone not of their religion, i don't think republicans are in a call into question where we jews belong politically.

i'll take the party that supports separation of church and state, thank you.
i'll take the party that fights discrimination, thank you.
i'll take the party that defends minorities and oppressed people, thank you.

one of the few reasons the republican party attracts the few jews they do is their support for israel. but they're only interested in israel because of where it's located, amid near vast oil field in the hands of muslims.

to whatever extent republicans "like" jews, it's only out of convenience. the reality is that the hate muslims more than they hate jews, so they pretend to like jews. but this will last only as long as that dynamic continues. when the oil runs out, or when we control it, republicans will have no use for jews and will revert to hating them.

sign that they are ramping up the attack on us/democratic field as it obviously the whole field of very qualified candidates is scared the piss out of them. Who cares what they say or think anyways? Their opinion matters not one wit to any of us...
