(Jewish Group) Lawmaker who referenced Hitler says Trump supports Ortagus because she's Jewish
Former Trump State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus expressed outrage on Wednesday after Tennessee State Senator Frank Niceley stated in an interview that only the Jewish members of Trump's family cared about Ortagus's candidacy for Congress.
Ortagus had received an endorsement from former president Donald Trump for her bid to be the Republican candidate in the elections for House representative in Tennessee's 5th Congressional District.
On Wednesday, Ortagus was removed from the August primary ballot by the Tennessee Republican Party along with two other candidates after months of efforts by Republican legislators and activists to kick her out because she only recently moved to Tennessee.
“I don’t think Trump cares one way or the other,” said Niceley in an interview, according to NBC. “I think Jared Kushner — he’s Jewish, she’s Jewish — I think Jared will be upset. Ivanka will be upset. I don’t think Trump cares.”
