The President of the United States is campaigning for reelection with a Nazi symbol. Again.

On the left: an official Trump/Pence “America First” tee.

On the right; the Iron Eagle, the official symbol of the Nazi party.

It’s not an accident. Bigotry is their entire brand.
Trump & Pence are proudly displaying a Nazi-inspired shirt on their official campaign website.

They are promoting genocidal imagery yet again — just days after President Trump retweeted a video of a supporter chanting “white power.”

“America First” was popularized by the America First Committee, launched in 1940 to prevent US involvement in WWII.

Their platform was built on antisemitism & fascism.

Trump is building on that hateful legacy, using it to attack Black people, immigrants, Muslims, Jews, & more.
Just two weeks ago, the Trump campaign ran Facebook ads using the red triangle, a Nazi concentration camp symbol used to mark political prisoners.

In June 2020, they used it to smear millions of protesters fighting for Black lives.

It’s a pattern.

Two weeks ago, the Trump campaign ran Facebook ads using a Nazi concentration camp symbol to target protesters for Black lives.

Facebook took them down — but they still have a massive bigotry & disinformation problem.

Watch our new video:
Facebook took down Trump’s Nazi ads. Now they must take down all of Trump’s bigotry & disinformation.

Bend the Arc: Jewish Action
@jewishaction
Let’s talk about Ulysses S. Grant & antisemitism.

On December 17, 1862, Grant issued General Order No. 11 — expelling all Jews from his military district, including parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi.

He gave Southern Jews 24 hours to leave.
Grant was responding to illegal cotton trading, which he was convinced was being run by Jews — a classic antisemitic conspiracy theory.

In a statement to the War Department, he claimed “The Jews seem to be a privileged class that can travel anywhere.”

He called Jews a “curse.”
When General Order No. 11 was issued, dozens of Jews were rounded up & forced to leave their homes.

On Dec. 28, thirty Jewish families were expelled from Paducah, Kentucky, including at least two Union soldiers.

Grant & his army targeted Jews because they were Jews.

The President of the United States is campaigning for reelection using a Nazi concentration camp symbol.

Nazis used the red triangle to mark political prisoners and people who rescued Jews.

Trump & the RNC are using it to smear millions of protestors.

Their masks are off.
This isn’t just one post.

This is dozens of carefully targeted ads from the official pages of Mike Pence, Donald Trump, and Team Trump.

All paid for by Trump and the Republican National Committee. All spreading lies and genocidal imagery.
For years, Trump and his cronies have used antisemitic rhetoric and imagery to smear opponents while inciting violence against Jewish people, immigrants, Black people, and people of color.

It happens so often we built a website to track it. Learn more: 972mag.com/gop-antisemiti…

Rudy Giuliani is not Jewish.

But he is absolutely antisemitic.

As a non-Jew, he doesn’t get to decide or determine anyone’s Jewishness.

And he’s no friend of our Jewish community when he pushes antisemitic Soros conspiracy theories that put Jews in danger and get us killed.
Rudy Giuliani is no friend of our community when he claims that impeachment is being controlled by George Soros and rich Jews — a hateful lie designed to distract from Trump’s real abuses of power.
Rudy Giuliani is no friend of our Jewish community when he works for and enables a president who is targeting so many of our friends and family and destroying our democracy.

We won’t let the Right keep weaponizing antisemitism or delegitimizing anyone’s Jewishness. We reject it.
