Trump May Have Cost Himself Election Agreeing With ‘Horrible Jew’ Comments

Donald Trump may have effectively destroyed his own presidential campaign this week when he agreed with an interviewer about Kamala Harris’ husband being a “crappy Jew.” While Trump didn’t utter the words, he did agree with them. The stereotype of the “bad Jew” has been around forever, and Trump appeared to be ok with that negative stereotype if it meant landing an attack against Harris’ husband. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Can, a single statement that you didn't even make, but that you agreed with cost you a presidential campaign. Well, that is a question that Donald Trump is probably going to have answered in the coming months. It's been highly publicized, but it's worth repeating what happened this week with Donald Trump when he went on the New York City radio program called Sid and Friends hosted by Sid Rosenberg. During the conversation, Rosenberg said that Doug Mhh, who of course is Kamala Harris's husband, was in fact a crappy Jew and a horrible Jew. Here is the entire context of that conversation. It began with Donald Trump saying a Jewish person that voted for her or him, or whoever it's going to be, I assume it's going to be her. Anybody that did that should have their head examined. If you love Israel or if you're Jewish, because a lot of Jewish people do not like Israel, and they happen to be in New York, you know that?

Yes, Rosenberg agreed, and then Trump continued. But if you are Jewish, regardless of Israel, if you are Jewish, if you vote for a Democrat, you're a fool and absolute fool, they have let Jewish people down since Obama at a level that nobody could believe possible. You know, 15 years ago, the strongest lobby in all of Washington was Israel. It was by far the strongest. Nobody would say anything bad about Israel today. It's like nobody says anything good except Republicans, by the way. Nobody says anything good about it. So Jesus Christ, let me stop right here, because this man, like he says a sentence, and then he repeats the exact same sentence. He's already done it like three or four times. In this quote that I'm reading you, it is so hard to read this man's quotes because his brain is a pile of mashed potatoes. But we'll continue. Nobody says anything good about it, so it is a hell of a, it's a hell of a change. I assume you know exactly what I'm saying. Oh, I know. 15 years ago, you couldn't say a bad thing. Now you'd be out of office. Yeah, and today it's almost like, I mean, Schumer has become a Palestinian. Chuck Schumer is officially now a Palestinian.

Then Rosenberg chimed in, and here's the horrible part. It's funny, but it's true. It it, it said He is. He is, and they tell me that they saw this Harris' husband, Doug Emh, Mr. President is Jewish. He's Jewish, like Bernie Sanders is Jewish. Are you kidding me? He's a crappy Jew. To which Trump said, yeah, he's a horrible Jew. Rosenberg added as Trump again said, yeah. Kamala Harris' campaign immediately came out and responded to this, uh, they called Trump hateful, despicable, and said that the comments were disgusting. And below the dignity of anyone, Donald Trump's uh, thinks he can score points with Jewish voters by denigrating them. He is wrong. The campaign said,

Now, I don't know how familiar everybody is with the negative stereotype of the so-called Bad Jew. If you're not, you can look it up, right? That has been a long going thing, right? The good Jew versus the bad Jew, and it goes back centuries. It is a negative, demeaning stereotype. And here is Donald Trump. He didn't utter the words himself, but he agreed with them. He said, yeah. He said, yeah, twice the Doug Mh Hoff, Kamala Harris' husband is a crappy Jew, a horrible Jew. Those were the two phrases that Mr. Rosenberg repeated. Again, we are talking about an entire section of the global population that Donald Trump is out there insulting, telling them that they need to have their heads examined. And of course, Jewish voters, more than 70% of them do identify as Democrats, so Donald Trump is basically attacking an entire religion.
