At final Hanukkah party, Obama extols religious freedom, ignores elephant in room | The Times of Israel
WASHINGTON — At his final White House Hanukkah celebration on Wednesday, President Barack Obama spoke of the organized Jewish community’s widespread support for religious freedom, while ignoring the elephant in the room: his incoming successor President-elect Donald Trump, of whom the majority of American Jews disapprove.
In the recent election, 71% of US Jews voted for Trump’s Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, while only 24% backed the former reality television star, according to an exit poll conducted by The New York Times. One of the most common criticisms of Trump from Jewish leaders throughout the campaign was his proposal to temporarily ban Muslim entry into the United States.
