Trump slammed for using ‘Palestinian’ as slur against top Democrat
Earlier, we reported that in comments to reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump said Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer had “become a Palestinian”.
Nihad Awad, the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), called on Trump to apologise, adding that his use of the term “Palestinian” as a racial slur was both “offensive and beneath the dignity of his office”.
Halie Soifer, CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, also condemned Trump’s statements, calling them “abhorrent”.
“Since taking office, he’s elevated antisemitic conspiracy theorists & attacked our democracy. His rhetoric, agenda, and alignment with right-wing extremists are endangering American Jews,” Soifer wrote on X.
