President Donald Trump daughter, Ivanka, tweeted on her personal account what appears to address the 48 bomb threats against Jewish community centers (JCC) across the country. Chassidic reporter Jake Turx recently asked President Trump about this in a recent press conference.
“What we haven’t really heard being addressed is an uptick in anti-Semitism and how the government is planning to take care of it,” Turx continued, citing dozens of bomb threats called into Jewish community centers in recent weeks.” Turx said, before being interrupted by Trump and told to sit down.
President Trump clearly misunderstood my question. This is highly regretful and I'm going to seek clarification. #TrumpNewsConference
Trump clearly misunderstood the question and thought his administration was being blamed for the uptick in anti-Semitic crimes.
Trump received a lot of criticism from the Jewish-Americans for not addressing the issue and now it seems his daughter Ivanka is trying to quell the criticism that her father received.
America is a nation built on the principle of religious tolerance. We must protect our houses of worship & religious centers. #JCC
“America is a nation built on the principle of religious tolerance. We must protect our houses of worship & religious centers. #JCC,” Ivanka tweeted.
Ivanka’s tweet comes on the same day that 10 JCCs received bomb threats .
