Jen Psaki Cues Up Kamala’s Jewish Husband Doug Emhoff to Denounce Trump as Antisemitic

First Kamala Harris drew a softball interview from MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle. Then her husband apparently drew a softball interview from MSNBC’s Jen Psaki, who served as White House press secretary for Biden, and Harris. They previewed part of the interview on Andrea Mitchell Reports on Friday. In it, Psaki cued up Emhoff to denounce Donald Trump. 

The Democrats have pounced on Trump claiming the Jews could be the difference if he loses again. “In my opinion, the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss if I’m at 40%. If I’m at for– think of it. That means 60% are voting for Kamala, who in particular is a bad Democrat. The Democrats are bad to Israel. Very bad.”

Trump also promised to be the best friend Israel’s ever had and promised to fight antisemitism. None of that context is going to make MSDNC.  They didn’t show a Psaki question before Emhoff teed off. 

“What really bothered me a week or so ago is when Trump got up there at an event purporting, an event purporting to fight antisemitism and he said vile antisemitic things long tropes that are just terrible, and we have to speak out every single time when something like that happens,” Emhoff said. “So I’m going to continue not to be afraid, not to be intimidated, not to live in fear, but to live openly and proudly as a Jewish person.”

PSAKI: When you hear him say things like that, and he said that if he doesn’t win, it will be essentially the fault of Jewish Americans —

EMHOFF: Blame the Jews, one of the oldest tropes.”

PSAKI: An old trope, I know you put out a statement on X at the time. Do you worry that he’s putting a target on the backs of Jewish Americans?

EMHOFF: He is. I mean, take him at his word. He lies about a lot of things, but you’ve got to take him at his word on things like this. S so yeah, this is a disgusting trope, this so-called dual loyalties. It’s an outrage and it’s not just Jewish people that should be outraged.

So on MSNBC, they’re never responsible for “putting a target on the back of Donald Trump” with their constant denunciations, but Trump complaining he should get a higher share of the Jewish vote is dangerously antisemitic.
