Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump reached for the praise of a conservative conspiracy theorist on Wednesday to defend him amid criticism over his questioning the loyalty of Jewish Democratic voters, something that was quickly criticized as anti-Semitic.

Trump shared quotes of Wayne Allyn Root's praise, tweeting Wednesday morning: "President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world ... and the Jewish people in Israel love him (...) like he's the King of Israel."

The tweets come a day after Trump got blowback from Jewish leaders for criticizing Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats, saying that "it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty."

Some argue that President was dabbling in the anti-Semitic trope of "dual loyalty," which questions the loyalty of Jewish citizens. The comment was part of the President's response to two Democratic congresswomen being barred for entering Israel over their support for a boycott against the country.

Trump has shared Root's praise before, calling him "highly respected" in a November 2015 tweet and sharing several opinion pieces written by him over the years.
