Breitbart, “Trump Camp In Israel: We Still Support Him Despite Lewd Comments; He’s Not Running For Chief Rabbi”, 9 Oct. 2016:
TEL AVIV – The Israel director of Republicans Overseas said on Sunday that he and other Republicans in the Jewish state would still vote for Donald Trump despite the lewd audio recording released over the weekend.
Marc Zell said that he and his five daughters will be voting for Trump, and maintained that the majority of the 200,000 registered U.S. voters in Israel – half of whom are women –would still support Trump “with all of his shortcomings.”
“I’m saying he doesn’t need to [resign]. He did what he did. His comments are disgusting and absolutely unacceptable, we are against it,” Zell told Israel’s Army Radio. But “he said he’s not perfect, he apologized.”
He added that there is “no chance” Trump will quit.
According to Zell, Trump’s decade-old comments pale in comparison to Hillary Clinton’s offenses, not least of which are the leaked emails – also released over the weekend – showing her questionable relationship with Wall Street.
“The public wants Trump, with all of his shortcomings, over Clinton with her failures, her corruption, her lies,” he said.
“I have five daughters and they will all, all, vote for Trump,” Zell added.
As several GOP leaders announced the withdrawal of support for Trump following the audio’s release, Zell called on Republicans to band together.
“I call upon all the Republican leadership, who understand like we do that we need a change to the White House immediately and undo eight years of damage caused by Obama and Clinton to the United States around the world — to unite and to support the ticket, from the top to the bottom,” Zell said.
Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign manager in Israel Tzvika Brot told Army Radio that it “was good he regretted [his comments], but he isn’t running for chief rabbi. There are only perfect leaders in Hollywood.”
