Doug Emhoff Tells MSNBC Trump Is ‘Putting a Target’ on Backs of Jewish People
Doug Emhoff, the Second Gentleman, has expressed his strong disapproval of former President Donald Trump’s recent remarks regarding Jewish Americans. In an interview with MSNBC’s Jen Psaki, Emhoff stated that Trump’s comments are dangerous and antisemitic.
He is putting a target on the backs of Jewish Americans. Take him at his word. He lies about a lot of things, but you have got to take him at his word on things like this. So yeah, this is a disgusting trope with this so-called ‘dual loyalties.’ It’s an outrage. And it’s not just Jewish people who should be outraged.
Emhoff’s criticism stems from Trump’s comments at a Jewish event in Washington, D.C., where he warned Jewish American voters that their support for Vice President Kamala Harris could lead to grave consequences, including the potential demise of Israel if she were to win the election. Emhoff condemned Trump’s use of antisemitic tropes, emphasizing the need to speak out against such incidents every time they occur. He also reiterated his commitment to living openly and proudly as a Jewish person, rejecting intimidation and hate.
