Trump Uses 'Palestinian' As A Slur For The Second Time In A Week
HuffPost
The GOP presidential frontrunner referred to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who is Jewish, as a "Palestinian" during a rally on Friday.
Former President Donald Trump used the word “Palestinian” as a slur in reference to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) during a campaign rally on Friday. It’s the second time this week he’s used the word as a slur.
During his rally in Virginia, Trump said Schumer, who is Jewish, had “become a Palestinian.”
“Look at a guy like Senator Schumer,” Trump said. “I’ve always known him, known him a long time. I come from New York, I know Schumer. He’s become a Palestinian. He’s a Palestinian now. Congratulations. He was very loyal to Israel and to Jewish people. He’s Jewish. But he’s become a Palestinian because they have a couple of more votes or something, nobody’s quite figured it out.”
Schumer has been critical of Israel’s handling of the ongoing war in Gaza, where some 38,000 people have been killed amid a U.S.-backed Israeli assault. In March, the senator called for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step down.
It’s now the second time this week Trump has used the word “Palestinian” as a derogatory insult.
