For years, President Donald Trump has bristled at accusations that he coddles — or at least turns a blind eye to — Nazis and fascists.
Jason Greenblatt, a longtime Trump Organization employee whom Trump eventually tapped as his top Middle East peace envoy, recalled later that he felt a responsibility to go to Trump and seek clarification.
Trump’s Jewish daughter, Ivanka, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, along with other Jewish allies, privately and publicly pressed him to more clearly condemn the marchers.
Trump’s Jewish allies once again urged him to distance himself from antisemites, but this time, he was not accommodating.
JB Pritzker, who has emerged as a prominent voice of resistance to Trump, has repeatedly invoked Nazi Germany in criticizing the administration’s policies.
