Former President Donald Trump surprised many on social media with his response to claims that President Joe Biden is supporting “genocide” in Gaza.
When some in the crowd at Trump’s campaign event Saturday in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, began to chant “Genocide Joe!” he agreed with them.
The Republican presidential candidate was addressing a large crowd in the battleground state when the chant broke out.
“Genocide Joe! Genocide Joe!” people directly in front of him shouted.
Trump let them finish before he took to his microphone and responded to the chant.
“They’re not wrong,” the former president said after a few moments of silence. “They’re not wrong.”
“He’s done everything wrong,” Trump concluded of Biden.
He did not expound on what, if anything, he would do differently regarding Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza, but the former president has been a staunch ally of the Jewish state.
The comments also came as Israel and its allies — including the United States — were shooting down hundreds of missiles and drones that had been fired at Israel by Iran.
After the Pennsylvania rally, there was a great deal of confusion about Trump’s agreement with the “genocide” chant, which implies Biden’s support for Israel has made him complicit in a supposed “genocide” of Palestinians.
Many who came across clips of the event pointed out the 45th president is a supporter of Israel:
Others opined that Trump appeared unsure of how to respond to the chants, which could be considered a political landmine:
In the words of the left-wing The Washington Post, “‘Genocide Joe’ is a phrase used by pro-Palestine protesters against President Biden because of his unconditional support of Israel amid its onslaught in Gaza.”
In any event, Trump made his support for the people of Israel crystal clear in Pennsylvania:
He also later took to his Truth Social platform Saturday evening and commented, “AMERICA SUPPORTS ISRAEL!”
