“To my fellow American Jews, particularly those who support [President Trump]: When President Trump uses a trope that has been used against the Jewish people for centuries with dire consequences, he is encouraging—wittingly or unwittingly—anti-Semites throughout the country and the world. Enough,” Schumer said in a statement on Wednesday.

“[Trump] has prioritized delivering important victories for the Jewish people & the US-Israel alliance as well as pushing back on the Omar/Tlaib wing of the Dem party that views these issues very differently. He’s a fighter & wont back down. On these policy priorities, he’s correct,” Zeldin tweeted.

But Zeldin added that Jewish voters have diverse views. 

“As for Jewish voters, they don’t universally vote the same way, bc they prioritize different stances/issues. Some Jews, just like non-Jews, are liberal, moderate or conservative & some have made a life long pledge to always vote for a particular party,” Zeldin tweeted.
