U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-09) this afternoon vociferously condemned a recent series of deeply antisemitic statements by Donald Trump.
"There can be zero question that the words by Donald Trump are vile, despicable antisemitism," said Rep. Pascrell. "This latest rant is a continuation of a pattern of statements trafficking in anti-Jewish tropes and stereotypes that have formed the basis of hate and oppression. I condemn his words and Mr. Trump unconditionally. Every elected Republican in America should disown Trump's latest antisemitic rant. But I am not holding my breath: this level of hate is not just tolerated but invited by the modern GOP."
