Many American Jewish groups and lawmakers have called out the president's comment as anti-Semitic.
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough slammed President Donald Trump's Tuesday accusation that American Jews who vote for Democrats somehow show"disloyalty," calling the remark anti-semitic and arguing that it was the same kind of language used to slander Jews in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
"That lies right at the heart of anti-Semitic tropes," Scarborough, a former Republican congressman who now identifies as an independent, said on Wednesday morning on his MSNBC show"Again, for decades, for generations, for centuries – for centuries, this is exactly how Jews have been attacked not only in the Soviet Union, in [Nazi] Germany, across the world, that they are quote, insufficiently loyal," he said.

"Any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat — I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty," Trump told reporters at the White House.
