Jared Moskowitz Slams Trump’s Record on Anti-Semitism While On Fox News: ‘Don’t Have Dinner With Nick Fuentes’
Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) slammed former President Donald Trump for his record on anti-Semitism while defending President Joe Biden’s policy towards Israel.
The Florida lawmaker joined Fox News Sandra Smith for an interview on Wednesday where he addressed concerns over how Biden’s stance on Israel will impact his chances of winning the November election.
Biden has been criticized by progressive Democrats for providing financial and military aid to Israel amidst the war with Hamas in Gaza. However, some pro-Israel Democrats have called out Biden for not providing crucial intelligence regarding Hamas leaders to Israel.
Moskowitz told Smith that Biden has been an “absolute champion” for Jewish people throughout his political career before slamming Trump for hosting White nationalist Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago last year. Recently, Trump has claimed that a Jewish person who votes for Biden hates their religion and Israel.
SMITH: Congressman, as far as the politics involved, that may or may not be involved — now, I’ve sent out a tweet to that effect — if all of this is indeed the case, what do you believe is the political impact on the president’s reelection campaign as this war continues?
MOSKOWITZ: Well, look, Joe Biden has been an absolute champion of Jewish people, not just as president, not just as vice president, but in the Senate. He’s fought anti-Semitism his whole life. You’re talking about someone who established the first ambassador on anti-Semitism. You’re talking about someone who established the anti-Semitism coalition to get a definition, by the way also, I’ll give, you know, credit to President Trump establishing the Abraham Accords. That was a big deal for the state of Israel.
But this administration has done a good job supporting Israel and supporting the Jewish people. I think the president is doing what he thinks is right. And I think he has to let the politics fall wherever they may. I don’t like, obviously, President Trump going out and telling the Jewish community that if you vote Democrat, somehow you’re a bad Jew.
You know, we appreciate it, Mr. President, but maybe don’t have dinner with Nick Fuentes. You know, so like everyone right now, obviously everyone right now obviously is trying to posture because we live in that political season. Obviously there’s things I differ with the Biden administration on how they’ve met and some of the decisions they’ve made on Israel. But I think the last six months, the Biden administration has stood by Israel and stood by the Jewish Committee and appreciative of what President Biden did, obviously, with his speech on anti-Semitism, on the anniversary of the Holocaust.
