Here’s another quote that President Trump will be blasted for by the PC police, although it’s 100% true. On Friday night, Trump spoke at a rally of evangelical supporters and said that the Reps. Omar, Tlaib, and AOC hated Jews, based on their support of the anti-Semitic BDS movement.
Unfortunately, there is a growing left-wing movement that seeks to target and punish the state of Israel and its Jewish citizens. This includes the anti-Semitic BDS movement. Boycott, divestment, and sanctions. It is a disaster, and we have people in Congress — I do not know where they come from. Five years ago, seven, eight years ago, it is unthinkable what is happening in Congress. But these people hate Israel. They hate Jewish people. I won’t name them. I will not bring up the name of Omar, Talib, AOC. I won’t bring that name up. Won’t bring it up. I will not bring it up. But where do these people come from? Ten years ago, if you think back, this was, there was a great love, and today it is the opposite. But I made clear my administration strongly and forcefully condemns the dangerous campaign to inflict pain and turmoil on the state of Israel.

Omar has a history of anti-Semitic statements, including accusing American Jews of dual loyalty. As a matter of fact, the Democratic caucus was about to pass a resolution condemning her Jew-Hatred. Still, the Congressional Black Caucus objected, so instead, they passed a vanilla resolution basically saying its wrong to be mean to people.
Tlaib has refused to say Jews have a right to a state and has said boycotting Israel was the same as boycotting the Nazis. AOC has inappropriately referenced the Holocaust, using it as a political weapon. All three support the anti-Semitic BDS movement.
The President also slammed the growing socialist movement here and across the world:
In the Western Hemisphere, we are confronting the nightmare of communism and socialism. That is what is happening. The western hemisphere is a little bit different place. But things are happening. And we are supporting the people of Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela in their righteous struggle for freedom. We are going to win that. We are going to win all three of them. We are going to win all three of them. Tell your friends, and we are going to win all three of them. Two years ago, they gave me the Bay of Pigs award, Cuba, Bay of Pigs award, people from Cuba in Miami, and that was a big thing. We had tremendous support from those countries. I will tell you. We are going to straighten that out. We resolve America will never be a socialist country, ever. [applause] …America was not built by religion-hating socialists. American was built by churchgoing, God worshiping, freedom-loving patriots.
Friday night, President Trump proved again that he will tell the truth about Antisemitism. That’s a line previous presidents were too frightened by political correctness to cross.
