Critics Flag 1 Huge Flaw In Trump’s Claim About Kamala Harris And Jewish People
Donald Trump claimed during a campaign rally on Wednesday that Kamala Harris is “totally against the Jewish people.”
The vice president’s husband, Doug Emhoff, is Jewish.
Trump was railing against Harris for not attending Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress on Wednesday afternoon. (The presumptive Democratic nominee instead stuck with a pre-planned campaign event in Indianapolis, but she’s been scheduled to meet with Netanyahu on Thursday).
“Even if you’re against Israel or you’re against the Jewish people, show up and listen to the concept, but she’s totally against the Jewish people,” Trump said at the event in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“And it amazes me how Jewish people will vote for the Democrats when they’re being treated so disrespectfully and badly,” the former president added.

Emhoff, the first Jewish spouse of an American president or vice president, has been an outspoken advocate against the rise in antisemitism during his time as second gentleman.
That’s included a few jabs at Trump, who has a history of making antisemitic remarks and, in 2022, hosted the Holocaust-denying white supremacist Nick Fuentes for dinner at his home in Florida.
Social media users offered Trump a newsflash:
Kamala Harris is married to a Jewish man. https://t.co/Mod4QgT7Z3

Hey @SecondGentleman, guessing this comes as a surprise to you. As a Jewish person, I would just like to say F-CK OFF Trump. https://t.co/4E5Ojp275Q

The last person qualified to lecture Jewish people on how to be properly Jewish is the utterly odious Donald Trump. https://t.co/Hru4Jjz91f
