In Remarks On Anti-Semitism, Trump Echoes Conspiracy Theorists And White Nationalists

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump said recent threats to Jewish institutions could be intended to make “others look bad,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) told reporters Tuesday following the president’s meeting with a group of state attorneys general.

Shapiro declined to speculate on what Trump meant. The White House and other attorneys general contacted by The Huffington Post did not respond to requests for comment. But Trump has previously suggested that political opponents who wanted to make him look bad, rather than actual anti-Semites, were behind a recent rise in anti-Semitism.
