- Unplanned moments from the @WhiteHouse Hanukkah party -- @POTUS laughs w/heroic Rabbi Charlie; bestows a kiss on the head of a Holocaust survivor lighting the menorah; and invites kids on the stage for his speech. What a mensch.
- What kind of depraved sociopath claims Israel "let us down" in its darkest moment? How deranged must one be to call on Israelis to "straighten themselves up" as they face unspeakable horror & pain? Don't ever say he's supportive of Israel again, @GOP.Whoa. Trump just attacked Israel and said that he'll "never forget" that they didn't participate in the Soleimani operation. He said Israel "let us down" and needs to "straighten it out" and called them weak, saying they should "strengthen themselves up."
- .@LindseyGrahamSC: "This is the first time in American history we've nominated a woman who embraces her faith w/out apology." WRONG. Justices Ginsburg and Kagan have been guided by Jewish values in their approach to the law, and we're all better off because of it. No apologies.
- MI State Senator @MalloryMcMorrow issues a call to action against dangerous Republican extremism on @MSNBCMorningJoe: "My hope is that other white women like me, who are doing okay, put an end to this, because it won't [end] unless we do it." #ImWithHer"I know that hate will only win if people like me stand by and let it happen." Please watch this incredible speech from Michigan State Senator @MalloryMcMorrow, who is not standing by.
- As a proud Jew who had the honor of working for @KamalaHarris & traveling to Israel with her & the first Jewish @SecondGentleman, I can attest to the fact that this felon doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. He can't speak about the issues so he prefers lies & vitriol.Trump: Kamala Harris doesn't like jewish people.
00:00 - Once again, Trump gets it wrong. What he doesn't understand is that American Jews despise him - and all he stands for in the @GOP - because he's a depraved bigot who continues to attack our democracy & his policies are antithetical our values. This has nothing to do with Israel.New quotes from Trump to @BarakRavid: Most US Jews don't love Israel. Exclusive for Unholy podcast @Freedland
00:00 - For the record, I care how you vote. And I can't fathom why anyone would normalize a former president who mocked Israel, praised terrorists, incited an insurrection, emboldens antisemites, aligns with Putin, refuses to condemn white supremacy, pledges to be a "dictator on day“I really don’t care how you vote.” —ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt introducing Jared Kushner at the ADL summit in NYC
00:00 - "Not one of the @GOP officeholders objecting to Biden's victory have objected to their own wins on the same day on the same ballots using the same election systems." This is the height of hypocrisy & recklessness, creating a perilously dangerous precedent for future elections.Nearly a dozen GOP senators and senators-elect plan to back Sen. Hawley's baseless objection to certifying Biden's win next week cnn.it/3rKNcQ9
- Incredibly meaningful to celebrate Hanukkah at the @WhiteHouse with my former boss and our nation's highest ranking glass ceiling breaker, our @VP. #TeamHarris.
- .@POTUS on celebrating Hanukkah with the @VP & the first Jewish @SecondGentleman : "this is a @WhiteHouse tradition, but for the first time, it's a family tradition." 🕎
- Today, Trump appointed Richard Grenell to the Holocaust Memorial Council. As US Amb to Germany, Grenell sought to "empower" far-right parties & anti-establishment conservatives in Europe. Others have been unqualified, but he's emboldened actual neo-Nazis.
- The idea that @VP didn't choose Gov Shapiro because of his position on Israel is ridiculous. @KamalaHarris and Gov. Walz share Gov. Shapiro's strong support of Israel. This is the position of our party, and if anyone has any doubts, consult the Democratic Party Platform.
