Communism and Antisemitism Are Close Cousins

President Trump tore into the antisemitic mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and his socialist/communist movement at the president’s Faith and Freedom Coalition speech today saying that religion is back.American greatness has been forged by people of faith. America is one nation under God and we’re not changing that. He said he will defend Christians and all Americans of faith 100 percent.He referred to his executive orders reaffirming the fight against antisemitism or any other bigotry or persecution of people of faith.The president argued that Democrats want to destroy traditional ways of life, and that Senator Chuck Schumer, the leading Jewish office holder in the country, is afraid to fight. Mr. Trump said: “I watched Schumer, he’s afraid to fight. I watch guys that are pretty normal and guys that we oppose. They’re afraid to fight. The Democrats have taken a tremendous turn left”As for the Mamdani Democratic Socialists of America, Mr. Trump called them godless communists, and chided more traditional Democrats for not fighting this. As he put it:“So they’re turning communists themselves, becoming a Communist party. These are not social democrats. These are hardcore, godless communists. They’re godless communists. All communists are godless. They don’t believe in God. This is the most serious threat to our country since its existence.”I think the president was in great form today, but if I had my druthers, I would suggest that he pound even harder and more directly on the antisemitism of the Mamdani crowd, which I believe is the animating, motivating, and uniting message of Mamdani socialism.The sheer hatred and bigotry against Jewish people and the state of Israel is the most corrosive and corrupt stain on this crowd, and the people who voted for them, and the greatest risk that this will spread throughout the country. And this will not end in New York City, but will spread throughout the country.And the thing about bigotry and hatred is once it aims at one group, it then metastasizes to infect many other groups as well. We cannot let this happen.As Marc Thiessen puts it, “President Trump says they’re communists. You say they’re antisemites. I say yes, they’re both. Communism and antisemitism are close cousins.”People must speak out. If Mr. Schumer hesitates, then maybe some other Democrats will step up and blast the Mamdani bigotry.Of course Republicans must hammer away on this. They are the party of freedom and free enterprise, and economic opportunity and tolerance, and faith.Now is the time to save America from the scourge of Mamdani-ism and its hatred of America which is part and parcel of their message.From Mr. Kudlow’s broadcast on Fox Business Network.
