Josh Shapiro blasts Trump for calling him 'overrated Jewish Governor'

• Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro accused Donald Trump of peddling antisemitism after the Republican presidential nominee called him a "highly overrated Jewish Governor."
• Trump's post attacked the swing-state governor for supporting Vice President Kamala Harris even though, Trump claims, she "hates Israel."
• The White House said, "It is Antisemitic, dangerous, and hurtful to attack a fellow American by calling out their Jewish faith in a derogatory way."

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on Thursday accused Donald Trump of peddling antisemitism after the Republican presidential nominee called him a "highly overrated Jewish Governor."

"I think it's clear over the last few years, Donald Trump is obsessed with me and obsessed with continuing to spew hate and division in our politics," Shapiro told reporters in response to a broadside Trump posted on Truth Social overnight.

"He's someone who has routinely peddled antisemitic tropes like this," said Shapiro, a Democrat who leads what is arguably the most competitive swing state in the presidential contest.

Trump's post, sent after midnight Thursday, attacked the governor for supporting Vice President Kamala Harris' White House bid even though, Trump claims, she "hates Israel."

"The highly overrated Jewish Governor of the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, made a really bad and poorly delivered speech [at the Democratic National Convention] talking about freedom and fighting for Comrade Kamala Harris for President," he said.

Trump falsely accused Harris of hoping that Israel "will fail" and claimed he is "the best friend that Israel, and the Jewish people, ever had."

"Shapiro has done nothing for Israel, and never will," Trump added.
