'Give me a break, really?' ADL head scorches Trump over his message to Jewish voters
During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," the head of the Anti-Defamation League scorched Donald Trump for trying to tell American Jews how to vote when he has a long history of consorting with white supremacists.
Speaking with co-host Joe Scarborough, ADL head Jonathan Greenblatt first listened to a recording to the former president telling podcast host Sebastian Gorka recently, "Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion, hates everything about Israel and they should be ashamed of themselves."
Asked for comment, he replied, "Well, there's a lot there; let me try to break it down. First, with respect to what President Trump said, obviously, it is patently false and prejudicial."

"It is bigotry to say that Jews hate Israel if they vote for the Democratic Party," he continued. "I don't need President Trump or any politician to lecture me on how I am supposed to vote. Israel has been a bipartisan concern for decades and decades and decades. There's been consensus on supporting the Jewish state because it is a democracy, because it is our best ally in the Middle East, because it is committed to the same kind of values America is committed to."
"For that reason, again, Democrats and Republicans have been good on Israel," he added. "Look, the person who dines with [white supremacist] Nick Fuentes, you know it is calling the kettle black to tell us what is anti-Semitic. I mean, give me a break. really?"
