Trump Goes Off The Rails In Attack On 'Highly Overrated Jewish Governor'
 
Donald Trump fired off an angry middle-of-the-night attack on “highly overrated Jewish Governor” Josh Shapiro after he spoke out against the former president at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night.

Trump said Shapiro ― who, as Pennsylvania’s governor, has no foreign policy role ― “has done nothing for Israel and never will.”

He also claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris “hates Israel” and hopes “that it will fail.”

Kennedy’s campaign said in an email Wednesday afternoon that he would “address the nation live on Friday about the present historical moment and his path forward.”
