“I will protect your communities, your schools, your places of worship and your values. We will remove the jihadist sympathizers and Jew haters,” he said.

“We’re going to remove the Jew haters who do nothing to help our country, they only want to destroy our country.”

Trump did not elaborate on who precisely he was referring to but went on to hit out at the student protests at colleges across the country this year in response to Israel’s campaign in Gaza.
