'Beneath any POTUS': ADL turns on Trump after 'slur' targeting Schumer

Raw Story  

The Anti-Defamation League has backed President Donald Trump and his allies recently — including those who've faced accusations of making a Nazi salute — but found itself at odds with the president after he once again attacked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Trump targeted Schumer, who is Jewish, on Wednesday during a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin in the Oval Office, as Trump responded to questions about the U.S. corporate tax rate. "President Trump's use of the term 'Palestinian' as a racial slur is offensive and beneath the dignity of his office," said Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations. Instead of weaponizing people's identity, use the power of the bully pulpit to bring the American people together," the ADL wrote on X.
