Sioux City, Iowa (CNN) Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday jabbed at President Donald Trump after the President claimed that American Jews who vote for Democrats "(show) either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty."

"Let me say this to the President. I am a proud Jewish person. And I have no concerns about voting Democratic. And, in fact, I intend to vote for a Jewish man to become the next president of the United States," Sanders said at a campaign event in Sioux City, Iowa.

Trump's criticism of Jews who vote for Democrats came during a conversation with reporters in the Oval Office about Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota having their trip to Israel scrapped by the Israeli government. Tlaib later declined the chance to enter the country to see her grandmother.

"Where has the Democratic Party gone? Where have they gone where they're defending these two people over the state of Israel?" Trump said Tuesday.

Sanders has continually showed his support for Tlaib and Omar, especially when the President congratulated the Israeli government for banning them.
