The head of Donald Trump’s task force on antisemitism has shared a white nationalist’s quip about the president revoking “Jew cards.”

The startling share comes even as Trump threatens to deport or arrest university students protesting on behalf of war-torn Gaza, implying such actions are antisemitic. Former Fox News contributor Leo Terrell, who now heads the Federal Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, shared the post by white nationalist Patrick Casey earlier this week chortling that Trump can “revoke someone’s Jew card.”

The Anti-Defamation League has identified Casey as the head of the now defunct “alt right white supremacist group” American Identity Movement.

He was referring to Trump on Wednesday mocking Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as a “Palestinian” instead of a Jew, which he is, because he supports human rights in Gaza. “You’re going to have some very bad things happen and people are going to blame the Democrats. And Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I’m concerned,” Trump said derisively in an attack widely criticized as both racist and antisemitic.

1. Anti-Semitism never goes out of vogue, it only sleeps sometimes.

When it is useful, then it is redeployed to match current sensibilities.

5. Trump's "antisemitic task force" follows the form of all his appointments.

We have an anti-science nut running HHS, oil barons running the EPA, an entertainer running Education, anti-worker moron running Labor, etc.

It follows that we have antisemites running the antisemitic task force.

10. Too true

2. That guy is a hateful moron, as far as I'm concerned.

3. Comrade Krasnov is not even remotely worried about antisemitism

He is looking to roust out Palestinians and other Muslims. I don't know why he hates Muslims but he does. He also needs an excuse to harass universities and colleges. Whatever it is, antisemitism is just an excuse.

4. He pals around with white supremacists

who go around chanting "Jews will not replace us" and other crap.

THAT is their "base".

6. Trump hates everybody except himself.

He probably hates himself on some level. He's a hater.

7. A tired trope "antisemitism"

I am tired of everyone crying "antisemitism". It is a tired excuse. And besides Palestinians are semite too.

9. You are seriously unclear on the concept. Something that is a present-day serious danger is not "a tired trope"

Inform yourself

13. He wants the real estate. When Dubya illegally invaded Iraq, Trump was pushing for us to steal

all their oil as payment for our 'help'.

8. just the thought that anyone would think this is a good idea

11. Not a peep from Nuttyahoo.

12. donnie has no interest in helping Israel or Jewish people. He just wants to support a fellow Dictator-to-be.

14. Just like the phrase "waste, fraud, abuse"

and "DEI", they have co-opted the term "antisemitism" in order to justify whatever oppression and suppression they intend to carry out.

The actual concept itself, is meaningless to them.
