This is what anti-Semitism looks like.
Donald Trump, the illegitimate, popular-vote-losing President of the United States, tweeted a new wacky and wrong thing today that is also manifestly anti-Semitic.
In response to a question about Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, Donald Trump said today:
“I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat – i think it shows either a total lack of knowledge, or great disloyalty.”
That’s right, the Jews are disloyal.
Where have we heard that before? I wonder.

Pres Trump: "I think that any Jewish people who vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty."
He's calling the 79% of American Jews who voted for Dems in 2018 stupid or disloyal.
We've heard these tropes before. It's antisemitism.

Note that the fact that right wing Jews say leftist Jews aren't actually Jewish,and that we're disloyal (talking points Trump is repeating) should make people *extremely* wary of Israel's claims that they'll give us refuge in times of fascism. https://t.co/UpRg4t0HGQ
