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.
You have to be really really really ignorant and/or been living on Sentinel Island for the past at least 12 years to not already know this.
Anyone who believed a word about Trump fighting against anti semitism was looking for a talking point to ride as an excuse to vote for him, and those people fucking suck.
Most of the people saying this just wanted the pretense to black bag and terrorize anyone who hurts Israel’s feelings, antisemitism be damned. Arabs are semites, and nobody has a problem being genocidal towards them. It was always going to be like this. The question is: how long do people let this shit continue?
