Donald Trump agreed with a radio host as he slurred Vice President Kamala Harris' husband as a "crappy Jew" during an interview Tuesday.
The Republican presidential nominee appeared Tuesday on WABC-AM's conservative show "Sid & Friends in the Mornings," where he repeated his claim that Jewish people must support him or risk somehow harming their faith.
"Any Jewish person that voted for her or him or whoever it's going to be, I assume it'll be her, anybody that does that should have their head examined," Trump said, referring to Vice President Kamala Harris.
"If you love Israel or if you're Jewish, because a lot of Jewish people do not like Israel, and they happen to be in New York, you know that. But if you are Jewish, regardless of Israel, if you're Jewish, if you vote for a Democrat, you're a fool, an absolute fool. They have let Jewish people down since Obama at a level that nobody could believe possible."
Trump has previously said that "any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion," and he suggested to host Sid Rosenberg that the Democratic Party was antisemitic.
"You know, 50 years ago, the strongest lobby in all of Washington was Israel," Trump said. "It was by far the strongest lobby. Nobody would say anything bad about Israel.

"Today it's like nobody says anything good except Republicans, by the way. Nobody says anything good about it. So it's a hell of a change, I assume you know exactly what I'm saying. Fifteen years ago you couldn't say a bad thing, you'd be out of office, and today it's almost like – I mean, Schumer has become a Palestinian. Chuck Schumer is officially now a Palestinian."
The host laughed at Trump's remarks and agreed, and then turned his attention to the vice president's husband.
"It's funny but it's true – it's sad," Rosenberg said. "He is, and they tell me that this Harris husband, Doug Emhoff, is Jewish. He's Jewish like Bernie Sanders is Jewish. Are you kidding me? He's a crappy Jew, he's a horrible Jew."
Trump agreed with the host's remarks, repeatedly saying, "yes," as Rosenberg smeared Emhoff's religious faith.
