“This is probably one of the most important elections, because there is so much is at stake.”
In a powerful video message, a group of Jewish senior citizens emphasize to their grandchildren, the Jewish community, and America about how important it is to vote on Election Day this November. Their predominant concern: Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
“We have seen this before. We saw it in Germany, and don’t want to see it again.”
They hold nothing back in sharing their feelings about the character of Donald Trump. Some of their descriptions of him include:
“Trump is more than a tyrant. He’s an obnoxious lying individual and I haven’t any respect for him. I have tremendous fears for the country and and for you, my grandchildren.”
Adding some comic relief, these wise and young at heart endearing folks use some intentionally corny humor to hopefully get people to vote for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton;
“If you vote the future is yours. If you don’t vote for Hillary, and that crazy man Trump is elected, I’ll haunt you when I die.”
Here is the video that lasts just under two minutes:
The CEO of Bend the Arc Jewish Action says:
"We, as Jews, recognize that [Trump's] candidacy has echoed times when the Jewish community experienced the dangers of fascism, anti-immigration and persecution against religious minorities," said Stosh Cotler, CEO of Bend the Arc Jewish Action. "We've seen this before and we wanted to make sure that as Jews we were speaking out boldly and loudly and making sure it was known the Jewish community rejects Trump for the platform of hatred and bigotry that he has unleashed."
The message from these senior citizens needs to be said again and again. “They’ve seen this before.” And then the world needs to listen.
