The Anti-Defamation League criticized President Donald Trump over his recent name-calling of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
Trump repeated a campaign refrain Wednesday when he called Schumer a Palestinian. Schumer is the highest-ranking elected Jewish lawmaker in Washington, D.C., as the Senate minority leader.
“A President has many powers, but none of them include deciding who is and isn’t Jewish. Doing so, and using ‘Palestinian’ as a slur, are both beneath any @POTUS,” the ADL wrote on X. “Instead of weaponizing people’s identity, use the power of the bully pulpit to bring the American people together.”
