SCOOP: White House's "Dream Team" assures Jewish Americans that Trump has their back
The Trump administration invited a group of Jewish Americans to hear from its top staffers who are working to combat the rise in antisemitism that is happening across America.
Hours after New York Democrats nominated a mayoral candidate who expressed sympathies for those who want to “globalize the Intifada,” top Trump staffers told those assembled that this White House has their back.
Speakers included Will Scharf — President Donald Trump’s ever-present Staff Secretary — the Department of Justice’s Harmeet Dhillon and Leo Terrell, the Department of Labor’s Keith Sonderling, as well as Sebastian Gorka, Martin Marks, Pastor Paula White, and several others.
Scharf scored particularly loud applause from the audience when he told them that it is nonsensical for any Jew in America to not fully back the Second Amendment, especially in the wake of a Palestinian activist murdering two Israeli diplomats just blocks from the White House.
“Jewish Americans can rest assured that they have the Dream Team working to fight and eliminate antisemitism in our country,” the Republican Jewish Coalition’s (RJC) Sam Markstein told the Washington Reporter. “From President Trump on down, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, Harmeet Dhillon, Leo Terrell, and more, this administration is working every single day, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Jewish Americans, to defeat the scourge of the world’s oldest hatred.”
Gavy Friedson, another attendee, told the Reporter that “it was so refreshing to see an ‘all hands on deck’ approach from across the administration in different agencies.”
“Leo Terrell said it best, calling [anti-Semitism] pure Jew Hatred,” Friedson said. “He looks forward to going to campuses across the United States and to putting an end to this racist discrimination against Jews. There was no shortage of a variety of college students in the room voicing their concerns and their experiences of anti-Semitic violence, verbally, and physically that occurred to them on campus from both students and faculty.”
The Trump administration’s resolute support for America’s Jews is something that Jewish leaders across America noted to the Reporter.
“It's reassuring to see the White House take the time to fight anti-Semitism as the city with the largest Jewish population outside of Israel prepares to elect a Jihadist anti-Semite as its mayor,” Jackie Sackstein, the founder of Maryland Republican Jewish Council, told the Reporter. “I thank President Trump for his continued support for Israel and the Jewish people and am on standby to assist with his efforts however I can.”
Emily Austin similarly told the Reporter that “the White House makes every Jew in the United States feel safer. Knowing our administration cracks down on crime, and protects its citizens means the world to us.”
“Anti-Semitism has always been the exception to the hate when it comes to accountability and this administration makes sure that that’s no longer the case,” Austin added. “While many cities individually neglect their Jews, we know the president has our back.”
