Just like Muslim voters, Jewish voters in Pennsylvania are also MUST-WIN!

GOP is spending $$$ to scare Jews. Here's how we fight back!

Hey y'all, this is a red alert.

Democrats are on the verge of losing Pennsylvania over a constituency that we haven't talked about enough.

Now, we all know the importance of Michigan, and we've been focusing on the Muslim vote in Michigan for very good reasons.

That's a must-win state, and Muslims are a key constituency.

What we haven't talked about is the Jewish vote in Pennsylvania. That's also a must-win state, and the Jewish vote there is equally as important.

But we're in some trouble now. Joe Biden got 70% of the Jewish vote in Pennsylvania last time. But some of the polling now shows Kamala Harris may be down to 50-50, splitting with Trump. That's a loss of about 70,000 votes. If you know anything about politics, your blood just ran cold.

Why? Biden only won Pennsylvania by 40,000.

So we're about to lose twice as many votes as the margin of victory last time in the Jewish community alone.

We've got to keep this thing balanced. Obviously, everyone is concerned about the tragedy in Gaza. We have to speak about that. But you have Jewish voters that are starting to feel that we don't care about them and that Kamala Harris is not a safe bet for them.

If you know any Jewish voters or if you're a Jewish voter, please listen to me: Donald Trump is not your friend. Kamala Harris is certainly not your enemy.

In fact, if you look at the record, there's a lot of weird stuff we never talk about. Kamala Harris has done a bunch of stuff I think Jewish voters, if they knew about, would be very happy about. The Biden and Harris administrations sent about $18 billion to in weapons to Israel.

Two aircraft carriers, one nuclear submarine led the coalition to shoot down all those Iranian missiles. Also, they just sent 100 US troops to Israel because of all the threats coming in from Iran in addition to the world anti-ballistic missiles system to shoot down more missiles from Iran.

Israel has been kept quite safe by Kamala Harris.

The Democratic Party's platform explicitly goes after Israel and anti-Semitism. Kamala has also personally spoken up for the hostages. She's personally spoken out against the sexual violence that happened on October 7th. Kamala Harris has been a solid supporter and backer.

But what people aren't focused on is how weird, bizarre, and erratic Trump has been when it comes to Israel. Trump has this image of being this big tough guy in favor of Israel. And in some places, that’s been taken on in the Jewish community an article of faith.

Part of that's because Republicans are spending $15 million to scare Jewish voters away from Kamala Harris.

But what they forget is that Trump actually opposed aid to Israel this year. He wanted to condition the aid. He says we should never give money without imposing a lot of conditions. He said this about Ukraine but Israel.

He picked JD Vance, who voted against aid to Israel. Only 15 US senators voted against helping Israel this year and JD Vance was one of these senators. He led the charge to block aid to Israel. And then just a few weeks later, he was picked by Donald Trump to be his VP.

Donald Trump has even praised Hezbollah.

He said they are very, very smart just days after October 7th. He's also blamed Israeli leadership for the lack of a two-state solution. And don't forget: Donald Trump is in bed with Putin, who's in bed with Iran, an enemy of Israel. So this idea that Donald Trump is a trusted defender of the Jewish community when we know he's been playing footsie with white nationalists and terrorists is absurd.

But we haven't hit that hard. We haven't pointed that out because we've just assumed that Jewish voters would be voting 70%, 80% for Democrats like they always have.

Every vote has to be earned.

But I think that Kamala Harris has proven that she has a heart. She's compassionate toward the Palestinians, but she also is a strong friend of Israel, frankly, like most people in the middle.

And if you want more information, you should go to zionessaction.org. That's where I stole all this information.

And if you are a Jewish voter or if you know one, Kamala Harris is a much better friend and a much more reliable, less erratic supporter of any cause than Donald Trump.

Thanks for making it to the end - send this to a friend who need to hear this.
