It's a deep emotional issue for me. Stuck my head inside the oven at Dachau when I was ten, and now I've grown up to hate all things anti-Semitic.

I tried to warn one of my Trump-leaning (and Jewish) vendors that he was anti-Semitic, but he wouldn't accept it until much later in the campaign. Now he swears he never supported Trump. And I'm just going to let that slide on by.
