White House issues blistering statement on Trump calling Josh Shapiro a 'Jewish Governor'
Daily Mail ^ | August 22, 2024 | Geoff Earle

The White House issued a blistering statement Thursday following President Donald Trump's bizarre late night broadside calling Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro a 'highly overrated Jewish Governor.'

'It is Antisemitic, dangerous, and hurtful to attack a fellow American by calling out their Jewish faith in a derogatory way, or perpetuating the centuries-old smear of “dual loyalty,” said White House Principal Deputy Communications Director Herbie Ziskend in a statement issued to reporters.

'President Biden and Vice President Harris believe we must come together as Americans to condemn and combat Antisemitism – and hate and bigotry of all kind,' he said, in a comment that did not mention Trump specifically or explicitly identify the posting that prompted it.

It came after Trump tore into Shapiro for his speech at the Democratic National Convention, while identifying him by his religion and criticizing Harris and claiming she 'hates' Israel.

'The highly overrated Jewish Governor of the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, made a really bad and poorly delivered speech talking about freedom and fighting for Comrade Kamala Harris for President, yet she hates Israel and will do nothing but make its journey through the complexities of survival as difficult as possible, hoping in the end that it will fail. Judge only by her actions!'

'Yet Shapiro, for strictly political reasons, refused to acknowledge that I am the best friend that Israel, and the Jewish people, ever had. I have done more for Israel than any President, and frankly, I have done more for Israel than any person, and it’s not even close. Shapiro has done nothing for Israel, and never will. Comrade Kamala Harris, the Radical Left Marxist who stole the nomination from Crooked Joe, will do even less. Israel is in BIG trouble!'

Well, he did serve in the IDF.

Does Biden think calling a Jew "Jewish" is a slur? Does Biden equate being Jewish as some sort of slur?

That's better than shouting "Death to Jews" like half the Democrat party does.

He is a Jewish Governor. And he is highly overrated. So much so that his own party didn’t select him as their vice presidential candidate.

So, what’s the problem here?

Yet, in the very same statement, Trump defends Israel against Kamala.

Concur. Looks like the manufactured "black jobs" outrage isn't getting any traction.

DemWits have no platform to offer but stupid juvenile outrage. If saying a Jewish governor is Jewish is an insult, it shows DemWit antisemitism not the other way around. #Screwy

Well he is Jewish isn’t he..because before Harris picked Walz, Shapiro threw his Jewish faith out the window in order to appease the pro hamas base..he put his foreskin back on and denounced his own jewish faith and begged Harris to pick him

He was pointing it out saying Kamala refused to choose him BECAUSE he is Jewish. He was defending him for being Jewish.

Is it derogatory to people of the Jewish faith to have their religion associated with Shapiro?
