Rabbi close to Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner slams President Trump's Charlottesville rhetoric

The rabbi that helped Ivanka Trump convert to Judaism sent a condemning letter to his congregation on Wednesday evening, slamming President Trump's "two sides" rhetoric in response to Charlottesville.

According to a letter published by NYMag, Rabbi Emeritus Haskel Lookstein joined his religious colleagues in calling out the violence and hatred present during a protest turned deadly last weekend.

“We are appalled by this resurgence of bigotry and antisemitism, and the renewed vigor of the neo-Nazis, KKK, and alt-right," the letter reads. "While we avoid politics, we are deeply troubled by the moral equivalency and equivocation President Trump has offered in his response to this act of violence."

The rebuke from a spiritual leader close to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner comes after the president flip-flopped in his rhetoric on Charlottesville -- eventually calling out the "alt-left" for their presence at the protest.

As a senior White House official says Trump "went rogue," mediators like Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump -- an advisory White House duo that may have been able to keep the president more centrist in his rhetoric -- were nowhere to be found.

Ivanka Trump and Kushner were away on vacation both during a House blunder of the health care effort to repeal and replace Obamacare, and when the Donald Trump Jr. email story broke.

Ivanka herself tweeted a reaction to the Charlottesville violence on Sunday, directly calling out "racism, white supremacy and neo-nazis."

Kushner and the president's eldest daughter practice Orthodox Judaism, and criticism for the president from a revered religious adviser could weigh on the conflicted Trump family members and White House advisers.
