OUT: “Republicans pounce.”

IN: “Republicans are moving to capitalize” on Dems and their “wrenching internal debate over anti-Semitism and support of Israel”

With Democrats embroiled in a wrenching internal debate over anti-Semitism and support for Israel, Republicans are moving to capitalize with an aggressive campaign painting Trump as a fierce and unapologetic defender of the Jewish state https://t.co/YlLgtlEDBX

You know, Republicans couldn’t capitalize on this in the first place if Dems weren’t defending anti-Semites in their own party:

From the article:

Spearheading the push is the Republican Jewish Coalition, which receives substantial funding from casino mogul and GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson. On Friday morning, the group’s board members — many of them prominent Republican Party donors — gathered in a conference room at Adelson’s Venetian resort, where they were briefed on plans for a $10 million-plus blitz geared toward attracting Jewish support for President Donald Trump. The investment, people familiar with the early discussions said, will far surpass what the group spent in past presidential elections.

With Democrats embroiled in a wrenching internal debate over anti-Semitism and support for Israel, Republicans are moving to capitalize with an aggressive campaign painting Trump — who has himself faced accusations of stoking anti-Semitism — as a fierce and unapologetic defender of the Jewish state.
