(JNS) U.S Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) rebuked former President Donald Trump for invoking “dual loyalty tropes” during an October 16 interview on MSNBC’s “The Mehdi Hasan Show.”

“Antisemitism is on the rise and all of us have a responsibility to condemn it,” Omar said. “To continue to have someone, a former president with his platform, continuously speaking to his white supremist [sic] base in such a language—it’s very scary and dangerous and we have to condemn it.”

Reaction on Twitter, where Omar’s comments were posted, accused her of “audacity” given the antisemitic comments she has made in the past, notably in February 2019 in which she accused Israel’s allies of having been paid off for their support, tweeting, “It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” in a reference to American $100 bills, on which U.S. founding father Benjamin Franklin features.

Several other Democratic congresspeople, Jewish groups and the White House also condemned Trump’s remarks. “Donald Trump’s comments were antisemitic, as you all know, and insulting both to Jews and our Israeli allies,” White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters.

Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, Sunday that “somewhat surprisingly,” evangelicals are more appreciative of what he has done for Israel as president than “people of the Jewish faith. U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel—Before it is too late,” he said.

Trump noted that Jews in Israel are different and there he has the “highest approval rating in the world—could easily be P.M.!”
