Progressive Jewish group protests speech

BY RACHEL FRAZIN - 04/06/19 03:43 PM EDT

Protestors from a progressive Jewish activist group interrupted President Trump's speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC).

"Jews are here to say occupation is a plague. Jews are here to say white nationalism is a plague," the protesters said, according to a statement from the progressive Jewish organization IfNotNow.

... RJC participants .. booed them and then chanted "USA" and "Four more years" ...

The protesters said ... "RJC’s embrace of Trump and <Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin> Netanyahu goes against the Jewish moral tradition by giving political cover to their racist, violent agendas — which are a threat to people around the world and to the future of the American Jewish community" ...

Says trump: 'I am for peace in the Middle East, the best friend Israel has ever had . . . The Democratic Party is for open borders . . .
the most partisan, radical party this country has ever had. . . . etc. . . . '

Trump's lawyer Dowd who said his 'client cannot tell the truth' was guilty of gross understatement! Lies just tumble out of trump's mouth non-stop! Can't imagine how a semi-normal crowd could stand it.
