President Donald Trump referred to Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer as 'a Palestinian' during a diatribe in the Oval Office. Trump also claimed that Schumer 'used to be Jewish' but is now 'not Jewish anymore.' Schumer, who is Jewish and not of Palestinian descent, has been an outspoken critic of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The two men have known each other for years, and Trump had previously donated to Schumer's campaign. Schumer's office has not yet responded to the comments.
