Today, Democratic Majority for Israel announced a digital ad campaign highlighting three speakers with a history of trafficking in antisemitism who were chosen by President Trump and his MAGA Republican Party to receive primetime speaking slots at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (GA-14), North Carolina Gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, and far-right activist Charlie Kirk.
“It is unconscionable that the Republican Party gave prime time speaking roles to three widely known antisemites and made no effort to disassociate themselves from their vile statements,” said DMFI President & CEO Mark Mellman. “We are running these ads to remind people of just who these antisemitic Republicans are and encourage decent Republicans to object.”
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has peddled in antisemitic conspiracy theories for years, sharing videos that quote a Holocaust denier blaming “Zionist supremacists” for immigration into Europe, and suggesting on social media that California wildfires were started by Jewish-controlled space lasers.
Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is a Holocaust denier. In 2018, Robinson wrote, “This foolishness about Hitler disarming MILLIONS of Jews and then marching them off to concentration camps is a bunch of hogwash.” Even the Republican Jewish Coalition has called some of Robinson’s comments “clearly antisemitic.” In another post, he implied that the widely-accepted figure of 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust isn’t accurate.
Charlie Kirk, executive director of the pro-Trump group Turning Point USA, claimed that “Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” Conservative leader and writer Erick Erickson wrote in a post last year that Turning Point USA was “looking like not just a grifting operation, but an anti-Semitic grifting operation.”
