Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said on Saturday that Jews in the United States are facing their greatest threat since World War II.

“What’s happening with Israel and Jewish people, there has never been a more dangerous time since the Holocaust if you happen to be Jewish in America,” the former president told supporters at a rally in Wilkes-Barre in northeastern Pennsylvania.

He made similar remarks on Thursday at a "Fighting Antisemitism" event with Miriam Adelson at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

“What’s going on now is exactly what was going on before the Holocaust,” he said.
