Jake Tapper pressed Tom Cotton on whether he’s comfortable with Donald Trump blaming a potential election loss “on the Jews, preemptively.” The Republican senator fired back that his party’s nominee was “the most pro-Israel president we have ever had” Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Trump told a crowd of supporters on Friday, “If I don’t win this election — and the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens, because if 40%, I mean, 60% of the people are voting for the enemy [then] Israel, in my opinion, will cease to exist within two years.”
