Presaging his comments on Kamala Harris’ racial identity thus enraging Black voters Tuesday, Donnie proved to be an Equal Opportunity Bigot by insulting Jewish voters last weekend. Speaking at a rally in Harrisburg, Donnie said, “Chuck Schumer refused to shake the Israeli Prime Minister’s hand. Chuck Schumer has become a Palestinian. Can you believe it? He’s become a proud member of Hamas.”

The New York Senator attended Netanyahu’s speech before Congress last week, but failed to rise and applaud on cue and merely nodded when the Israeli PM extended his hand. Schumer explained, “The relationship between Israel and America is ironclad, and I wanted to show that. But, at the same time, as everyone knows, I have serious disagreements with the way Netanyahu has conducted the war in Gaza.”

Oh, you mean killing nearly 40,000 Palestinians and depriving the rest of food, water, and medical care? Let’s all shake the hand of the guy responsible for that. If we don’t, we must be members of Hamas.

Maybe everyone who is appalled by their suffering has become a Palestinian.
