30. He sounds like my sons and certain members of my shul

I'm Orthodox. My family are Orthodox. Some members of my family now live in Israel.

Many (or, rather "some&quot Orthodox consider the Democratic Party as incomparable with Jewish values, which generally line up on the right. They are also greatly distressed by tolerance of our party with some of the very poorly phrased statements of Omar, Tlaib, etc.

Anyway, I get the "Democrats are not good for the Jews" pronouncements enough from people I love.

I don't need it from the President.

I honestly suspect Ivanka (who is Jewish) and her family of being behind this kind of thinking.

Converts must be respected, as they are Jews-by-choice. But I have often found them more over-the-top in their beliefs than people born Jewish.
