Trump shouted down a Jewish reporter asking about the rise of antisemitism and threats against Jewish Community Centers.
#1
...And called him a liar.

FYI, there have been a mounting -- and record-breaking -- number of bomb threats phoned in against Jewish Centers and Hebrew schools across the nation. A friend of mine had his kids evacuated from school for a bomb threat just last week.

An article was just published about it this very afternoon.

Question:

I haven't seen anybody in my community accuse either yourself or anyone on your staff of being anti-Semitic. We have an understand that you have Jewish grandchildren — you are their zayde. However, what we are concerned about and what we haven't being heard addressed is how the government is planning to take care of it.

Trump:

...he said he was gonna ask a very simple, easy question. And it's not, its not, not -- not a simple question, not a fair question. OK sit down, I understand the rest of your question.

So here's the story, folks. Number one, I am the least anti- Semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life. Number two, racism, the least racist person. In fact, we did very well relative to other people running as a Republican -- quiet, quiet, quiet.

See, he lied about -- he was gonna get up and ask a very straight, simple question, so you know, welcome to the world of the media. But let me just tell you something, that I hate the charge, I find it repulsive.

I hate even the question because people that know me and you heard the prime minister, you heard Ben Netanyahu (ph) yesterday, did you hear him, Bibi? He said, I've known Donald Trump for a long time and then he said, forget it.

So you should take that instead of having to get up and ask a very insulting question like that.



...Would have been nice if he addressed the problem instead of bragging that he knows an important Jew.
