It’s more than just associating with antisemites.
Trump now sending fundraising emails about “Soros” *every day.* This has been understood by scholars, governments, &, once, the media—as a code word for “Jews,” actual people and the bogeyman of fascist imagination. A major, major antisemitic escalation. This needs to be news. pic.twitter.com/NKo34tjv67

The abiding and even encouragement of Hitler-esque anti-Semitism by Trump and the @gop and the silence of @gop Jews in the face of that marks a frightening and rapid escalation. To treat Trump like he “said this before” or Kanye like he’s just a blowhard is profoundly dangerous.

Jews in New Jersey are especially alert now. They are re-thinking their weekend plans while standing up to Trump and Ye’s anti-Semitic remakes which have stoked up a virulent strain of Jew-hating. The FBI has issued a threat warning to NJ synagogues. Stand with us.

The former President’s statement about Jewish people is repulsive, offensive, and downright dangerous. Today would be a great day for my Republican colleagues to condemn such reprehensible tropes. So far, the silence is deafening.

Dear Republican Jews, once again: time to leave the cult. This is not new, and Trump has warned you before. My Dec 2021 @MSNBC essay "Trump Loves the Jews–Until He Doesn't" https://t.co/1Sz80DFBiS https://t.co/1c1DHYMKhG
