The only Jewish leader willing to defend Trump’s anti-Semitism is a corrupt radio host who once wore blackface. That’s the best that Fox and Trump could do.
Trump tweeted:
Thank you to highly respected Jewish leader Dov Hikind for his wonderful statements about me this morning on @foxandfriends.

Bradley Moss provided some background on Fox’s Jewish leader who defended Trump:
I’m a pretty knowledgeable Jew but I had never even heard of this guy before. So I checked and …
… he is a radio host and former politician …
…. barely survived a corruption scandal in the 90s ….
… and wore blackface in 2013.
So, yeah, um, no. https://t.co/OVy38I3vnl

Trump has been blasted from all sides for tweeting hate at New York City hours before the domestic terror attack at a Hanukkah party. Gov. Cuomo (D-NY) has put the blame for the increased attacks on Jews squarely on the president and his rhetoric, as Democrats have been calling out Trump’s fanning the flames of anti-Semitism for years as president.
The only Jewish “leader” that Fox News could find to defend Trump is a corrupt talk show host who was busted for wearing blackface.
That’s the only support out there for Donald Trump.
