(FreePressBeacon.com) – In a heated exchange that’s bound to add fuel to the political fire, former President Donald Trump has accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of abandoning his Jewish faith and becoming a “Palestinian.”
See the video below!
This remark has created quite the uproar, especially given Schumer’s Jewish heritage and history of supporting Israel.
Trump made these incendiary remarks during a White House meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin.
The president criticized Schumer for his increasingly critical stance on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, suggesting this change of heart meant that Schumer had, in Trump’s words, “become a Palestinian.”
It’s a remark that many see as just another example of Trump’s penchant for controversial statements.
Despite Trump’s comments, Schumer remains a staunch supporter of Israel.
After the devastating Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, which killed around 1,200 people, Schumer visited Israel, pledging to provide the necessary weapons to fend off such attacks.
His criticism of the Israeli government arose later during the Gaza conflict, ultimately calling for new elections in March 2024, citing Netanyahu’s policies as hazardous.
Trump cited Schumer’s opposition to the deportation of pro-Palestinian activist, Mahmoud Khalil, as a driving force behind his remarks.
Khalil, a Columbia University graduate, currently detained by ICE over alleged visa issues, has garnered support from several congressional members who see his detention as an affront to free speech.
Interestingly, while Schumer has critiqued the detention, his spokesperson has yet to comment on Trump’s latest accusation.

This isn’t the first time Trump has aimed biting remarks at Democrats, accusing them of undermining his efforts and even insinuating they took pleasure in international adversities.
As tensions rise, this latest incident adds another layer of complexity to the Trump-Schumer dynamic and raises questions about political identity and loyalty amid shifting global alliances.
Trump declared, “Schumer is a Palestinian, as far as I’m concerned. He’s become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He’s not Jewish anymore. He’s a Palestinian.”
As Trump continues to make bold statements and rally his base, the political landscape remains charged.
