Satmar Rebbe: Trumpism has infiltrated Judaism, twisted many minds – By The Jerusalem Post Staff (The Jerusalem Post) / Nov 10, 2022
The Grand Rebbe’s words came two days after the US midterm elections, during which Democrat Kathy Hochul became the governor of New York state, beating out Jewish Republican Trump ally Lee Zeldin.
“Trumpism,” said Satmar Grand Rebbe Aron Teitelbaum in a beginning-of-semester address to Satmar Yeshiva students in Kiryas Yoel, New York, “has infiltrated the Jewish camp and twisted so many minds.”
The Rebbe’s words came two days after the US midterm elections, during which Democrat Kathy Hochul became the governor of New York state, beating out Jewish Republican Trump ally Lee Zeldin. Zeldin had very strong support among New York’s haredi voting population.
According to Satmar Headquarters on Twitter, the Rebbe blamed many in his community for being involved in “Trump Meshigas.”
