Trump applauds 'Jexodus' movement, calls on Jewish voters to become Republicans
The Politico ^ | March 15, 2019 | Caitlin Oprysko

President Donald Trump on Friday declared that the Republican Party is “waiting with open arms” to welcome Jewish voters who he said are fleeing the "total disrespect" they have been shown by Democrats, whom the GOP has accused of harboring anti-Semitic sentiments.

The president touted the so-called Jexodus movement — which purports to be a grassroots movement aimed at getting Jewish millennials to desert the Democratic Party en masse — following segments on Fox News and the right-wing outlet One America News Network featuring the nascent organization.

“The ‘Jexodus’ movement encourages Jewish people to leave the Democrat Party,” he tweeted. “Total disrespect! Republicans are waiting with open arms. Remember Jerusalem (U.S. Embassy) and the horrible Iran Nuclear Deal!”

Trump has lambasted Democrats as the “anti-Israel” party after a series of comments from freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) about politicians’ support for Israel were deemed by many to be laced with anti-Semitic tropes. Omar’s comments resulted last week in the House overwhelmingly passing a resolution condemning bigotry that some said didn’t go far enough in singling out the Minnesota congresswoman.

Trump has asserted that though Jewish Americans tended to be reliable Democratic voters, the party’s lurch to the left in recent years, as evidenced by its splintering over Omar’s comments, has alienated Jewish voters.

The so-called Jexodus movement that Trump has now praised twice in recent days appears to have cropped up around the same time as the annual conservative gathering CPAC, where Trump campaign adviser Jeff Ballabon tweeted that he "broke the news of the newest #Jewish movement."

A website for Jexodus lists only a spokesperson, model and former Trump campaign staffer Elizabeth Pipko, and no other staff. A description on the website says Jewish millennials are "tired of living in bondage to leftist politics" and accuses Democrats of taking the Jewish vote for granted.

Until recently, support for Israel was nearly unanimous within the mainstream of both political parties, but the Democratic Party’s vocal progressive base has grown increasingly supportive of Palestinian rights, causing a rift that the congressional Democrats have publicly struggled to confront.

The president, who himself has been accused of promoting anti-Semitic stereotypes and not thoroughly denouncing hate speech, has positioned himself as a champion of Israel throughout his presidency.

Trump has been an extremely close ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and last year followed through on an oft-repeated promise from presidents of both parties to relocate the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. He also withdrew the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal, a move that Israel had long pushed for and that Trump invoked in lobbying Jewish voters to change parties.

That is such a preposterous trope. It is so typical of leftists to falsely accuse your enemy of what you yourself do.

Jews are starting to realize that they have been replaced in the liberal victim hierarchy.

Isn’t he though!

While those in the RAT party watch, Schumer/Haman has been busy building their gallows/impeachment for Trump/Mordechai, those lazy Republicans (12 immediately come to mind) are handing Schumer the wood to do so!

May he end up like Haman . . . and many of his cohorts with him. One of my FAVORITE Bible stories.

There are few things more satisfying than seeing the evil getting hoisted on their own petard.

Jews are welcome in the conservative camp and will always be protected among conservative members.

Did I miss these comments?

I pretty much read almost everything Trump puts out or makes a statement on.

Don’t recall ONE.

And trying getting rich in NYC with an antisemitic attitude.

Silly tripe.

Hey that’s the first time I used tripe on this board :)

Now I have to look up what it means.

So if they leave the Rats, will they bring their attitudes and voting patterns, for more and bigger government, with them? Probably, just like Bill Kristol.

This is like Californians moving to Texas.

Be realistic. There is no reason for Jews to be Democrats. The fact that most if them are could only mean they’re screwed up in their thought process. 75% Democrat. Realistic-how much higher than 25% can we go?
