Ever since Donald Trump became the so-called president, there has been a dramatic increase in hate crimes around the United States, punctuated in recent weeks by numerous bomb threats at Jewish Community Centers and the desecration of Jewish cemeteries.
Last week, Trump said anti-Semitism “has to stop,” but comments both he and one of his advisers made Tuesday are causing many in the Jewish community to question the sincerity of the illegitimate head of state.
Meeting with state attorney generals from around the country, Trump suggested that the bomb threats and other horrific acts being seen on a daily basis could well be coming from the inside “to make others look bad.”
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who was in the meeting, commented:
“He just said, ‘sometimes it’s the reverse, to make people, or to make others, look bad.’
“It didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me.”
Meanwhile, Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci decided to go on Twitter and hurl this accusation:
It's not yet clear who the #JCC offenders are. Don't forget @TheDemocrats effort to incite violence at Trump rallies https://t.co/uTBFGhI0Kh
— Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) February 28, 2017
Scarmucci raised big money for Trump’s campaign and now serves as White House public liaison to government agencies and businesses.
A reporter called Scaramucci out for his posting:

Did Scaramucci offer an apology? Nope. He was far too busy doubling down on his unsubstantiated claim:
No, I'm saying until we know for sure it's highly irresponsible to jump to conclusions https://t.co/wynFuUCKyT

This is all part of a larger pattern, and it’s time to say some things about this reckless, compromised administration: It is filled with hateful and dangerous people who despise everyone that isn’t white, heterosexual, and Christian. If they could rid this country of anyone who doesn’t conform to their vision of American “purity,” they would do so and not lose a moment of sleep. They are homegrown neo-Nazis and they are an insult to everything this country stands for.
Our fears have been confirmed, and now it’s time we confront the danger head-on. Trump must be investigated and impeached. Every staffer in the White House should be considered a member of this white nationalist cabal until proven otherwise.
Today, Trump proved who he really is and always will be. The next steps belong to us under the Constitutional framework the Founding Fathers gave us.
