This political attack is absolutely ridiculous, especially when you consider how Nancy Pelosi and Democrats refused to call Ilhan Omar out for her anti-Semitism at the beginning of this year.
Remember that as you read the title of this article in the Washington Post called “Some Democrats urge Trump to more strongly condemn anti-Semitism in wake of Monsey attack”:
In an afternoon tweet, Trump denounced the attack and called on the country to unite in battling anti-Semitism.
“The anti-Semitic attack in Monsey, New York, on the 7th night of Hanukkah last night is horrific,” he said. “We must all come together to fight, confront, and eradicate the evil scourge of anti-Semitism. Melania and I wish the victims a quick and full recovery.”
White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter, sent a tweet Sunday morning describing the Monsey stabbing as “an act of pure evil.” Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism before marrying her Jewish husband, Jared Kushner.
But some House Democrats singled out the president for criticism, arguing that he has been insufficiently clear in denouncing anti-Semitism and has frequently perpetuated offensive stereotypes about Jewish people.
Rep. Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat who has been among Trump’s most vocal critics in the House, on Sunday shared an op-ed he wrote this month in the Forward, a New York-based newspaper written for a Jewish audience. Swalwell took direct aim at Trump in the piece, which was titled, “We Must Hold Trump Accountable for Embracing Anti-Semitism.”
“Anti-Semitism is on the rise in America,” the congressman said Sunday on Twitter. “And it’s being stoked by @realDonaldTrump who won’t condemn it and Trump’s lawyer, @RudyGiuliani, who just this week said he’s ‘more Jewish than Soros.’ ”
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), another frequent critic of Trump, shared a tweet by a New York-based comedian who argued that the Monsey attack followed “3 years of anti-semitism from the Trump Administration.”
“So sad but predictable. His conduct has made unacceptable conduct acceptable,” Cohen said, appearing to blame Trump in part for the recent rise in attacks against Jewish people and members of other minority groups across the country. “It will take decades to cure.”
House Democrats are calling Trump out when he’s been more explicit in his condemnations of anti-Semitism than they have in condemning Omar’s anti-Semitism? Give me a break!
Mark Levin said the article in the Washington Post was another sleaze job: “This is disgraceful and dishonest, especially given all Trump has done in support of the Jewish people and the Democrats’ disgusting tolerance of vocal anti-Semites in their party. Another Washington Post sleaze job.

He’s right. These Democrats, as well as de Blasio, simply hate Trump so much that they will say anything to try and defeat him. They should remember, however, that when they are pointing the finger at Trump, they have three – no make that millions of fingers pointing back at them from the American people.
