Jewish Democratic Council of America CEO Slams Trump: ‘He‘s a Threat to Our Community and Our Values’

EXCERPT:

SOIFER: “So our message to Trump, as he continues to demonstrate animus towards Jewish Americans, the feeling is mutual. It‘s only going to continue to grow as we head into November. And according to the latest poll by Pew, 79% of Jewish voters disapprove of Trump. It‘s among the highest disapproval of any religious group. So why is that? It‘s because he says he wants to be a dictator on day one, he aligns and admires dictators like Putin and Orban. And we‘ve seen the horrific consequences of dictatorship. We want no part of it. He refused to condemn white supremacy. He‘s emboldened dangerous right-wing extremists who pose a threat to our security, and he has threatened our democracy and our freedom. So he‘s a threat to our community and our values, and there‘s nothing he can say between now and November to change that. In fact, as he continues to speak more and more about American Jews, he‘s only going to continue to lose more support among American Jewish voters."
