Trump Claims Chuck Schumer Has ‘Become Like a Palestinian’
Former President Donald Trump claimed on Wednesday that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) had “become like a Palestinian” during a discussion about Israel with Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Asked by Hannity about Israel’s ongoing bombing campaign against civilians in Gaza, Trump said, “They have to finish the job. Israel has to finish that job. They have to finish it quickly, strongly, and they have to get back to life again because it’s taking too long. They have to finish the job.”
The former president then claimed, “I have people now telling me they don’t think the [October 7] attack ever happened.”
He argued:
You watch these people on television and they’re now just like you have holocaust deniers also. They say the Holocaust never– it’s the exact same people. They’re saying it never happened. AOC plus three, you know? Israel was the most powerful lobby in the country 15 years ago. Today, between Tlaib and AOC and all of these people, what they’re doing, Israel, they don’t have the backing that they once had.
Hannity replied, “You’ll give it to them.”
“I’m good. I’m good,” Trump insisted. “But they don’t have the backing. Even Schumer, he’s become like a Palestinian. Chuck Schumer, Jewish, always strong for Israel, he’s become like a Palestinian.”
“Called for elections in the middle of a war,” Hannity noted.
Trump concluded, “It’s a very bad thing, it’s a very sad thing, and it’s a very dangerous thing.”
Schumer was one of the four congressional leaders who signed a letter last week inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress.
