Let's be very clear: Donald Trump endangers Jews.
He calls us "disloyal" & embraces white nationalists.
He pushes antisemitic lies that inspired attacks on synagogues in Pittsburgh & Poway.
The vast majority of American Jews vehemently oppose him — and polls prove it. (THREAD)

A new poll shows that Florida Jewish voters support Biden over Trump by a massive margin: 73% to 22%.
