Washington – A Democratic Jewish senator has called on all of the Jewish members of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet to resign over his response to the Charlottesville demonstration.

Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, in an interview with MSNBC on Friday evening said in response to a question about whether he thought Jewish Cabinet members should resign in protest: “Yes. I think they have to.”
Schatz also said: “I think people of conscience can’t pretend that this president is something they hoped he would be. That they were hoping he would be competent, that he would be a deal maker in the middle, a pragmatist. I remember reading an article online at the beginning of the presidency that he was going to function as an executive chairman and allow each one of his cabinet officials to run the government as they see fit. None of that happened.”
“This person is not capable morally, politically or in terms of incompetencies to lead the free world,” Schatz said during the interview.
Schatz had previously tweeted his condemnation of Trump’s news conference on Tuesday in which the president condemned “both sides” for the violence in Charlottesville, calling the counter protesters facing down the white supremacist demonstrators the “alt-Left.”
“As a Jew, as an American, as a human, words cannot express my disgust and disappointment. This is not my President,” Schatz tweeted.
Goebbels is laughing in hell.
I agree 100%
This is a scumbag who supports giving billions of dollars to iran which they will use to fund terrorism against Israel
Says a guy married to a chinese.
Hey Senator Schatz you dont speak for me or all the Jews that voted for & support President Trump. People like you & OBMAMA created this fake race war to divide the country on identity politics over the lst 8 years but you LOST Nov 8.
You Democrats are the ones giving the irrelvant neonazis (they are leas than transgenders) a platform in media to voice their stupidity, but the voters see through that & that why you will lose again 2018 2020.
obumma was not my President and unfortunately frum Jews joined this anti semitie
These professional politicians will stop at nothing to discredit Trump as he’s an outsider in washington.
coming from the people in the picture makes me laugh
i think those three should resign and the whole world will be much better off.
so does Eicmann, Heydrich and Himmler. What we have is a denial of the Nuernberg trials
Every person of conscience should agree with him but I don’t know why he had to do it Friday night?
Where was this Jewish Senator when Obamanation was trying to bury Israel with the Iran deal ? Or when Obama illegally tried to tamper in the Israeli elections ?
When you get the pork out of your mouth, then you can start speaking “as a Jew”.
Now not only do we have fake news trying to discredit the President but we have fake Jews as well twisting the truth. President Trump was 100% correct in his criticism of both violent sides in Charlotsville. The Leftist Antifa Nazis are no different than the right wing Neo Nazis and should not be given a pass just because the poor lady was killed.
Wonder when this so called jewish senator last ate a kosher meal or observed the sabbath… another hypocrite jew that thinks he speaks for other jews. Shame on him! It’s putzheads like him that are inviting jew haters in the first place.
I read comments #3  211; #8 , #13 , #16 -18, the pro-Trump comments so far, and they have a similarity to them, in that they are all attempts to distract me and use vulgar language and irrelevant personal attacks without making a point. Maybe they are all the same person, or maybe VIN suddenly has 10 new people commenting, all of whom are unhinged emotionally uncontrolled foul-mouthed hysterical (dare I say) snowflakes (yup, I dared). Your comments make as much sense to me as one of Trump 217;s rambling self-contradicting attempts at an English sentence. You guys were made for each other, just spare the rest of us will you?
liberals are just inhuman
Dont talk for me senator. Hes MY president and has my approval. Dont bring up bad blood. It only inflates antisemitism. DOnt mind if the president wld come out a little stronger on th supramacists but hea ok. Whatever hel do wont b good for the Trump haters. Go Trump! MAGA!
It does seem odd for Jews to work for a President whose friends chant “Jews will not replace us.”
To #17 I agree with you. Commenters #23 and 26 think that anti semitisim began in 1933 with Hitler yms rise to power. There was Haman before him and many others in between. We could live and survive under these gangsters The alt left liberals are anarchists. In such a system lawlessness and mayhem reign.
Boy, what a loser! Poor Democrats don’t have anything to run on except their pathological hatred for Trump. This is gonna end well for them in 2018 and 2020, LOL.
