Founder of The Exodus Movement defends President Trump: ‘Best friend Jewish Americans could ask for’ https://theexodusmovement.com/wp-content/themes/corpus/images/empty/thumbnail.jpg 150 150 Exodus Movement https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8b99c451615975e0dc34d6492a72b243?s=96&d=mm&r=gElizabeth Pipko, founder of The Exodus Movement, spoke exclusively with Fox News following the president’s comments suggesting that Jewish Americans, who vote for Democrats show a lack of knowledge or “great disloyalty” to Israel.
“Look, the Democrats have shown with their words and actions over the last several years that they are taking Jews and their support totally for granted. President Trump was discussing Jewish Americans and their loyalty to themselves, their faith, and everything that we have gone through. It’s hard to imagine supporting the left when they have turned so far against us,” said Pipko.
Pipko is a former Trump 2016 campaign staffer, who made headlines earlier this year when she announced her support for President Trump, and co-founded Jexodus — now known as The Exodus Movement. According to their website, The Exodus Movement is comprised of “proud Jewish Americans who reject the hypocrisy, anti-Americanism, and anti-Semitism of the rising far-left.”
“[The Exodus Movement is] hoping to inspire Jews, and I think all people actually, to vote with their conscience and their beliefs and not with any fears whatsoever, and I think the further the Democrats shift to the left, the harder it is for any religious person to align with them,” Pipko said in an earlier Fox News interview.
On Tuesday, Trump spoke with reporters in the Oval Office about his feud with Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu barred the Muslim congresswomen from entering the country.
“I think any Jewish people that votes for a Democrat — I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty,” Trump said.
The president also accused Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar of being anti-Semitic and argued they “hate” Israel and Jewish people.
“Where has the Democratic Party gone?” Trump said, adding, “Where have they gone — where they are defending these two people over the state of Israel?”
“At a time when anti-Semitic incidents have increased — due to the president’s emboldening of white nationalism — Trump is repeating an anti-Semitic trope,” Halie Soifer, the executive Director of Jewish Democratic Council of America, said in a statement.
But a prominent Jewish Republican group backed up Trump’s language.

The creation of this 527 organization will allow The Exodus Movement to more aggressively target persuadable Jewish voters in key states ahead of the 2020 election.
“The creation of this 527 organization will allow The Exodus Movement to more aggressively target persuadable Jewish voters and inform them about the antisemitic drift of the Democrat party in key states ahead of the 2020 election.,” said Elizabeth Pipko, Founder and President of The Exodus Movement. “Many Jews have watched in dismay as a formerly welcoming Democratic Party has turned away from them towards anti-Semitic activists such as Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib. This new 527 organization will hold those to account who don’t support Jewish voters and the issues they care about the most.”
Model and Exodus founder Elizabeth Pipko leans on faith: ‘In anything that I do, I know I go with God’
Model and Exodus founder Elizabeth Pipko leans on faith: ‘In anything that I do, I know I go with God’ https://theexodusmovement.com/wp-content/themes/corpus/images/empty/thumbnail.jpg 150 150 Exodus Movement https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8b99c451615975e0dc34d6492a72b243?s=96&d=mm&r=gNEW YORK – Elizabeth Pipko is a model and activist whose Jewish faith has greatly impacted her career trajectory and most recently, her political endeavors.
The 24-year-old native New Yorker told Fox News that her faith has always been a huge part of life and helped steer her when she first started modeling at 17 years old.
“Growing up I always knew that [religion] was going to guide me,” she said. “In anything that I do, I know I go with God.”
Having the approval of her parents has also been a guiding force. Pipko says there’s not a photo she’s taken that wasn’t run by her parents first.
“People were always confused that on a Thursday I could shoot a swimwear campaign and that on Friday night I could be in synagogue,” she admitted. “I’m super proud of it.”
She does have her limits though. Pipko draws the line at nude shoots or getting too intimate with another man. She married her husband in December 2018 whom she met while working on President Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Since then, Pipko has put her modeling career on hold for two reasons: 1. After coming out as a Trump supporter, she said those in the modeling industry “distanced themselves” from her and 2. She founded “The Exodus Movement” in March 2019.
“The [response from the] modeling industry was exactly what I expected. A lot of the photographers and people that I had grown super close with kind of blocked me on social media and distanced themselves,” she previously told Fox News in April.

By Joseph Wolkin, World Israel News
The Exodus Movement, previously known as Jexodus, is expanding throughout the United States.
Led by Elizabeth Pipko, the movement will start with chapters in 11 states.
Some states, such as New York, will have multiple chapters based on growing interest in the movement, which seeks to convince Jewish and non-Jewish pro-Israel voters to switch to the Republican Party prior to the 2020 election.
“When we first launched, we had a sign-up page online with our email list,” Pipko told World Israel News. “A lot of people wanted to volunteer, so we contacted them in these counties and states. We also went out looking for chapter heads.
“We went to people in different states who they could recommend, who were active, connected and focused on the mission. It took three months to get it together. We’re going to take another month or so and launch the next crop of chapters,” she said.
The group, founded in March, immediately received plenty of attention and media coverage.
President Donald Trump also signaled his support for the movement in a tweet. Pipko had worked on his campaign, first as a volunteer and then as hired staff.
“Everywhere that there’s a need for it, I’m going to be there, whether it’s a group who wants me to speak or has an event,” she said. “A lot of that is on college campuses because they turned so liberal and anti-Semitic recently. I do hope to be involved with them.
“The chapters, because there are so few Jews in America, it didn’t make sense to make a college chapter program. It’s a lot bigger than that, and it’s a lot bigger than just Jews. The fight for anti-Semitism should not be just Jews. I want to grow grassroots chapters out of nothing and create big chapters.”
The movement seeks to galvanize young Jewish Americans who are afraid to speak out about their political beliefs.
Anti-Semitism has created a divide in the Democratic party. Its far-left criticism of Israel has at times crossed the line into anti-Semitism.

Exodus Movement Launches State Chapters to Battle Left-Wing Anti-Semitism
Exodus Movement Launches State Chapters to Battle Left-Wing Anti-Semitism https://theexodusmovement.com/wp-content/themes/corpus/images/empty/thumbnail.jpg 150 150 Exodus Movement https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8b99c451615975e0dc34d6492a72b243?s=96&d=mm&r=gThe Exodus Movement, a group of self-described “proud Jewish Americans who reject the hypocrisy, anti-Americanism, and anti-Semitism of the rising far-left” announced today that they are launching a nationwide chapter program “to educate Jewish Americans – and all Americans more broadly – about the dangerous creep of anti-Semitism emanating from far-left extremists.”
“These chapters, which are located in diverse, strategic locales, will serve as a means for supporters of The Exodus Movement to gather and push a platform of opposition to liberal anti-Semitism and will enable Jewish Americans to unite in support of issues that reflect their Jewish values,” states the organization on its website.
The chapters will be located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas. Of these states, five have a higher-than-average Jewish population.
“As an American-Jewish elected official in New Jersey, I’ve found that college campuses and local communities are often the front lines of combating anti-Semitism, including for example the appalling BDS movement,” said Mark Schwartz, the deputy mayor of Teaneck County, New Jersey, as reported in the Daily Wire.
“Unfortunately, too often our voices in opposition are not adequately heard. Organizations like The Exodus Movement are urgently needed right now in our political discourse to encourage active participation and engagement to confront the very real issues of concern for the Jewish community, such as rising anti-Semitism and security,” said Schwartz.
David Ludwig, president of the Maricopa County chapter in Arizona, said, “I’m honored to be working with the Exodus Movement as president of the Maricopa County Chapter here in Arizona. Given the current political climate where supporting Israel and recognizing critical Jewish concerns seems to be taboo among the far-Left, an organization like the Exodus Movement is needed now more than ever.”
