Donald Trump pardoned the “Camp Auschwitz” guy, dined with Holocaust deniers, and said, “any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.” He doesn’t care about fighting antisemitism.

And we wonder where the anger in our country comes from? The legitimizing of hate. NOT leadership!
