GOP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-backed-bail-fund-freed-alleged-domestic-abuser-now-accused-of-murder\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris-Backed Bail Fund Freed Alleged Domestic Abuser Now Accused Of Murder\">vice presidential nominee<\/a> Sen. J.D. Vance asserted that Harris avoided selecting\u2063 Shapiro due to fears that leftist activists might not support a Jewish candidate. House Speaker \u200bMike Johnson echoed this sentiment, suggesting that the Democratic Party&#8217;s\u2062 internal divisions regarding Israel and Hamas played a role \u2062in the decision.<\/p>\n<p>The Republicans have framed this choice as indicative\u2062 of a\u2063 broader antisemitic atmosphere in the Democratic Party, particularly after the Israel-Hamas conflict,\u200c which has sparked \u2064protests displaying antisemitism. Despite the criticisms, Shapiro, who is an observant Jew, expressed pride in his heritage and commitment to supporting the Harris-Walz ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Some commentators, including CNN&#8217;s Van Jones, called for a discussion \u2062on antisemitism in the Democratic Party, while others downplayed \u2062the accusations, suggesting Harris&#8217;s\u200b choice could be explained\u2064 by various legitimate factors. Jewish leaders urged Harris to clearly communicate her reasons \u2062for selecting Minnesota Governor Tim \u2062Walz over Shapiro, \u200dstressing the importance of reassuring\u200c Jewish voters in key states\u200d crucial for the upcoming election. The piece\u200d illustrates the ongoing tensions within and between the two major political parties regarding \u200dthe intersection of identity, politics, and electoral strategy.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">GOP says Harris bowed to antisemitic smear campaign against Josh Shapiro<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1724573\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Several high-profile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republican\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Republicans\">Republicans<\/a> seized on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Vice President Kamala Harris\">Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a>&rsquo;s choice of Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tim-walz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Tim Walz\">Tim Walz<\/a> (D-MN) as her running mate, suggesting antisemitism in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democratic-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Democratic Party\">Democratic Party<\/a> influenced her decision not to choose a Jewish running mate in Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/josh-shapiro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Josh Shapiro\">Josh Shapiro<\/a> (D-PA).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>GOP vice presidential nominee Sen.

The rhetoric used by the left-wing campaign, <a href=\"https:\/\/nogenocidejosh.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>called &ldquo;No Genocide Josh,&rdquo;<\/a> raised questions among some about whether it ultimately played a role in Harris&rsquo;s selection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CNN commentator Van Jones emphasized the need for conversations about antisemitism within the Democratic Party after Harris&rsquo;s running mate was announced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You can be for the Palestinians without being an anti-Jewish bigot, but there are some anti-Jewish bigots out there,&rdquo; Jones said Tuesday on CNN, following the announcement. &ldquo;And there has to be conversations about how much of what just happened is caving into some of these darker parts in the party.

Prominent GOP figures criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for selecting Gov.

GOP vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D.

Vance remarked, &#8220;Many people have said repeatedly that Kamala Harris moved away from selecting Josh Shapiro because they were worried about antisemitism.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>At a later press conference, Vance reiterated his belief that Harris&#8217;s choice was influenced by antisemitic sentiments within the Democratic Party, expressing sympathy for Shapiro&#8217;s situation: &#8220;I genuinely feel bad that he had to distance himself from his Jewish heritage because of what Democrats are saying about him&#8230; The focus on his ethnicity during this vice presidential race is absolutely disgraceful.&#8221; House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) also highlighted how Shapiro\u2019s Jewish background may have led to him being overlooked for the position.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have aimed to center their campaign around the Israel-Hamas conflict, drawing attention to divisions within the Democratic Party regarding this issue and using footage of pro-Palestinian protests as part of their strategy against vulnerable Democrats who failed to condemn such demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>Karoline Leavitt, national press secretary for the Trump campaign, criticized Harris&#8217;s selection of Walz and claimed it demonstrated how much influence pro-Hamas sympathizers hold over the Democratic Party while also suggesting it reflects an embrace of antisemitism.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Gov.
