(Jewish Group) Trump campaign accuses Democrats of trying to 'rig election' -- with money from Jews

Trump campaign accuses Democrats of trying to ‘rig election’ — with money from Jewish billionaires

President Trump’s reelection campaign sent a letter to would-be voters accusing Democrats of trying to “rig the November election” with money from three billionaires with Jewish ancestry.

The letter, which was first publicized last week by the progressive Jewish group Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, criticized Democrats for trying to expand remote voting options.

“With the help of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton — and using the funds of their Leftist billionaire allies like George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, and Tom Steyer — Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer are pushing for ways to rig the November election — from calling for all ballots to be cast by mail, to same day registration, to requiring no ID to vote,” the letter stated.

Soros and Bloomberg are Jewish, and Steyer had a Jewish father.

The three men are some of the most prominent Democratic donors, but some Jews have accused Republicans of perpetuating anti-Semitic stereotypes by singling out their spending on political efforts.

I italicized the problem area. I think it is a HOOT that Bloomberg is considered a "leftist".

There are is a small minority on the left steeped in antisemitism, and more than a few "dabblers", but when it comes to actual attack ads and the like, I don't think I have ever seen an anti-Semitic attack ad from our side.

And yes, Biden will undoubtedly get most of the Jewish vote, but of course, because it won't be 100%, there will be all kinds of nasty remarks about it.
