Guess what: When you spend your entire campaign telling American Jews to go pound sand, they listen.That, at least, is what available data shows happened to Kamala Harris during her Nov.5 trouncing at the hands of Donald Trump.Harris saw support plunge in deep blue New York state and purple Pennsylvania, particularly in counties with high Jewish populations. The veep was bizarrely committed to taking every possible opportunity to let Jews across the nation know that while she sympathizes with pretty much every other minority group in America, for them she has no time. Let’s review the tape.In the closing days of her campaign, she cosigned the slur that Israel is committing genocide at a public rally. She took the Jewish state and its leadership to task again and again for daring to fight back against the terrorist butchers of Hamas, their masters in Tehran and the other proxy armies the mullahs muster in the region. For Pete’s sake, she very clearly passed on her best option for a running mate, popular Pennsylvania Gov.
Josh Shapiro, because having a Jew on the ticket would inflame her party’s hard left.Now, her campaign autopsy shows that Jewish voters don’t like to be blamed for supporting nonexistent genocides or see their political heroes treated like garbage. An exit poll exclusively obtained by The Post shows that for Jewish voters in Pennsylvania, the Shapiro move was hugely consequential. Harris won those voters 48%-41% — but if Shapiro had been her veep pick instead of Weirdo Walz, she would have grabbed 53% support of Jewish voters.
