Delivering remarks on antisemitism Monday in Pittsburgh, a day after the anniversary of the Tree of Life synagogue massacre, Emhoff said, “There is a fire in this country, and we either pour water on it or we pour gasoline on it.”

“One thing we know about antisemitism is that whenever chaos and cruelty are given a green light, Jew-hatred is historically not far behind,” Emhoff said. “And that matters so much today because Donald Trump is nothing if not an agent of chaos and cruelty.”
Emhoff credited his wife for urging him to “use my voice” on the issue and said she has an “unwavering” commitment to support Israel. “Kamala feels it in her kishkes.” He contrasted her commitment with Trump, who according to former aides has praised Nazis.
