Haaretz: ‘Disgusted by Trump,’ Baltimore Jews defend long-time ally Elijah Cummings
Constituents and local Jewish leaders in the city laud congressman’s support for Jewish community after president called his district a ‘rodent infested mess’
Donald Trump has often connected his racist words to somehow be a defense of Israel, but many Jews are distancing themselves from the President this week.
“People view Elijah Cummings as a bridge builder, someone who is deeply committed to the Jewish community in our area, and they’re disgusted by Trump’s attacks on him,” says leader of a Baltimore Jewish organizationhttps://t.co/lieziZj7Hq

.@RepCummings has a larger number of Jewish residents in his district, is close with the local Jewish community, and for the last two decades has helped sponsor a trip to Israel for black students from his district.https://t.co/DyM3pDZybX
