Trump campaigned on a pledge to fight antisemitism. “Antisemitic bigotry has no place in a civilized society,” Trump said at an event in 2024.
However, critics question whether antisemitism may have found a place within his administration.
NPR has identified three Trump officials with close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a man described by federal prosecutors as a “Nazi sympathizer,” and a prominent Holocaust denier.
Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, argues that the administration is using antisemitism as a pretext.
Correction: He is going to go after you. I’m not trying to be callous, but that’s the cold, hard truth; Jews never fare well when rightwing reactionaries are in power.
Yeah. His antisemitism campus bullshit is just the latest clear evidence that we are headed toward a dark future. It’s all of us, btw. Not just Jews.
Franco sort of was nicer.
