Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign and Jewish advocacy groups on Friday forcefully criticized what they called former President Donald Trump's "dangerous" and "antisemitic" comments saying Jewish voters would be to blame if he lost the presidential election.

"I'll put it to you very simply and as gently as I can: I wasn't treated properly by the voters who happen to be Jewish," Trump said at an event Thursday night in Washington that was meant to highlight antisemitism. "I don't know. Do they know what the hell is happening if I don't win this election? And the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens, because at 40% that means 60% of the people are voting for the enemy."

The backlash was fierce.

"Donald Trump is resorting to the oldest antisemitic tropes in the book because he's weak and can't stand the fact that the majority of America is going to reject him in November. But we know that words like these can have dangerous consequences," Harris campaign national security spokesperson Morgan Finkelstein said in a statement. "As Trump has proven, including over the past few weeks with his lies about Springfield, Ohio, he will cling to fearmongering and intimidation, no matter the cost."

Last night, Donald Trump once again fanned the flames of antisemitism by trafficking in tropes blaming and scapegoating Jews. He even did it at an event purporting to fight antisemitism, no less. This is dangerous and must be condemned. We will not be intimidated and will continue to live openly, proudly, and without fear as Jews.

3. This isn't just about who Jewish voters end up voting for

but it's about pushing conspiracy theories about Jewish control and power behind everything.

4. Sounded like a warning to me. What a fucking mob boss. n/t

6. Rapist and Shady are "that" type

They are toxic bro white guys who think that the only people who really matter are white (Christian) guys like them. You can talk about anyone else any way you want to, as long as you have support from enough other white people. And they think the way they talk gets them just enough white people behind them. Sadly enough it's true because their support is still in the 40s.

What. Is. Wrong. With. People. In. This. Country!?

7. Blaming Jews is nothing new. We should have expected that from Trump. Further evidence that he should NEVER

again come anywhere near the White House.

I know I shouldn't be shocked but I still am.

8. Jews react with hostility

when threatened by nazis.

9. This is his Plan for losing

He wants to stir up as much chaos as he can in an attempt to have another sloppy change of administrations in a last ditch attempt to avoid prison.

I expect more of this and soon.
