President Trump had a resounding no for any antisemites claiming to be part of the Republican Party or his MAGA movement.
“I think we don’t need them,” he told The New York Times in an interview. “I think we don’t like them.”
His comments, made in a Wednesday interview but published on Sunday, came after a series of high profile ultra-conservative figures have made controversial comments about the Jewish people and antisemitic speech has split Republicans.
Trump said: “I condemn” antisemitism.
He said he’s an ally of Israel and was awarded its Israel Prize, considered the country’s highest honor.
