Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov asserted on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump referred to Jewish individuals as if they were “in boxes,” following a comment from another panelist regarding Trump’s efforts to engage black and Hispanic voters in the 2024 election.
In response to Trump’s rising support among black men, Vice President Kamala Harris has intensified her outreach to this demographic. Tarlov expressed her irritation when podcast host Rob Smith suggested that Trump was not conducting an “identity-based” campaign, leading her to argue that the former president employed comparable strategies with Jewish voters.
“They don’t like him, he has had a historic gender gap,” Tarlov claimed, referring to women voters. “I mean, Republicans typically don’t do as well with women, this is beyond anything we’ve seen before and – you say he doesn’t talk to people like they’re in boxes, roll the tape of him talking to Jews and how he says it’s going to be your fault if I lose. Creating a dual loyalty issue for us, if you support Israel you can’t possibly vote for the Democrats, calling Doug Emhoff a ‘crappy Jew?’”
