Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on Thursday said former President Donald Trump was “obsessed” with him and promoted “antisemitic tropes,” following the former president’s late-night social media attack on Shapiro. In a midnight post on his Truth Social network, Trump attacked Shapiro and appeared to mock his faith after his Wednesday night speech at the Democratic National Convention.

Referring to Shapiro as a “highly overrated Jewish Gov.,” Trump claimed the Democrat “has done nothing for Israel” and called his speech “really bad and poorly delivered.” Trump also claimed without merit that Vice President Kamala Harris “hates Israel” and that he’s done more for Israel “than any person.”

”It’s clear over the last few days Donald Trump is obsessed with me and obsessed with continuing to spew hate and division in our politics,” Shapiro told reporters in Chicago Thursday. “He’s someone who has routinely pedaled antisemitic tropes like this.”

Shapiro said Trump “has been repeatedly rejected by the voters of Pennsylvania. He himself lost in 2020,” he said. “All of his handpicked candidates have lost, and I think he’s headed to another loss to Kamala Harris.”

Shapiro has become one of Trump’s favorite targets in recent weeks, as he’s gotten more national attention as a potential running mate with Vice President Kamala Harris.

We all know what Chump's real problem with Governor Shapiro is....

Shapiro, who was our State Attorney General in 2021, was the one who stopped the fake electors scheme in Pennsylvania. Had those fake electors been allowed to proceed in Washington on January 6th, the coup would have been complete and Chump might have become the Dictator in Chief.

Thank you Josh Shapiro! We will be forever in your debt....

There were a lot of heroes that day, and Josh Shapiro was definitely one of them.

1. Shapiro is taking one for the team, and drawing fire away from Kamala.

Takes courage to do this.

4. You're right about that

Josh has Chump's number.

This antisemitism is a pretense anyway, Chump uses it as a dog whistle to his MAGA minions.
