Schumer, at AIPAC, denounces Trump for Charlottesville comments by alexnazaryan
“When someone looks at a neo-Nazi rally and sees some 'very fine people' among its company, we must call it out,” Schumer thundered while discussing the recent rise of anti-Semitism around the globe, his right fist waving in the air.
Schumer’s barb appeared to be met with widespread approval from the audience, though it was difficult to precisely judge the reaction in an enormous hotel conference room where thousands were seated.
“Plain and simple,” he added later, “the Democratic Party supports Israel, and we will continue to do so,” even as they worked with Republicans. And shortly before Schumer took the stage, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that Trump “has made the fight against anti-Semitism a priority,” though some have charged Trump with emboldening the forces of the far-right and potentially making problems like racism and anti-Semitism worse. Pompeo also couched his support for Israel with reference to “religious liberty,” a phrase popular with conservative Christians.
