Former Congressman Peter Deutsch, (D-FL), who represented Florida’s 20th Congressional District from 1993-2005, is reportedly out campaigning for Trump in Pennsylvania.
The longtime Democratic lawmaker, who is Jewish, is allegedly going door-to-door with the Republican Jewish Coalition to persuade Jewish voters in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania to vote for Trump.
“I think Donald Trump, and the Republican Party, have done things that the Democrats have not done,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash in a Wednesday report. “Being aggressive against the outrageous and almost insane level of antisemitism on college campuses.”
The Republican Jewish Coalition is attempting to help Jewish voters in the pivotal swing state who may be persuaded to vote for Trump.
“There is a clear choice. You don’t have to like Donald Trump, but Donald Trump will keep the Jewish community safe,” Brooks said.
Lifelong Democrat Stephanie Spielman is also abandoning the party because of its “unwillingness to confront antisemitism on the left.”
“I do not believe they are seriously supporting the Jewish community. They are not seriously engaging with us,” the former Democratic voter said.
“I feel very comfortable today publicly announcing that I’m endorsing Donald Trump to be reelected as president,” he said on the October 8 call. “I’m planning on voting for him on November 5th. I take this decision very, very seriously. I also feel 100% comfortable with this decision.”
