Trump Brands Democrats 'Anti-Israel,' 'Anti-Jewish'
President Donald Trump said Friday that a recent U.S. House of Representatives vote condemning bigotry shows the opposition Democrats have become an "anti-Israel" and "anti-Jewish" party.
"I thought yesterday's vote by the House was disgraceful," Trump told reporters at the White House. "The Democrats have become an anti-Israel party and anti-Jewish party."
The Republican president spoke a day after the vote on a resolution originally intended to condemn anti-Semitism following controversial comments by Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar that instead became a broader anti-hate measure.
