Five months ago Rabbi Alan Sherman appeared in a political ad draped in a prayer shawl and blowing a shofar “as a wake-up call to all Jews, to wake up and vote for Donald Trump.”
Trump lost. And his bid to overturn the election, culminating in a deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and an ongoing reckoning within the Republican Party, has led to Sherman’s own wake-up call.
He no longer supports Trump. If the former president runs again, Sherman said he will change his registration to Independent.
“When I was in the Army for 28 years, I swore allegiance to this country through the Constitution, but I didn’t swear any loyalty to Donald Trump,” Sherman, a retired chaplain, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “He’s going to try to be very influential in the Republican Party, which is completely turned upside down, and the Republican Party is going to have to decide who they are.”
