A week ago Donald Trump threatened American Jews to "get their act together" "before it is too late" on his social media website.

The right-wing media has turned up the volume on antisemitism considerably.

A non-exhaustive thread of examples: 🧵
Kanye West Blames ‘Jewish Zionists’ for Paparazzi, Pulled Shows … and Kardashian Sex Rumors
rollingstone.com/music/music-ne…
Neo-Nazi Holocaust denier embraced by Marjorie Taylor Greene: "You serve Satan ... I piss on your Talmud"
Chris Cuomo is trying to build his comeback on the back of West's antisemitism, who told him "When I wore that White Lives Matter t-shirt, the Jewish underground media mafia already started attacking me" dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
Ben Shapiro defended Donald Trump, threatening American Jews, says it “happens to be somewhat accurate, actually” mediamatters.org/ben-shapiro/be…
Lara Logan invoked blood libel of the "global cabal", saying they aim to “dilute the pool of patriots” in the United States with “100 million illegal immigrants.” thedailybeast.com/lara-logan-goe…
Just prior to Trump's post on Truth Social, Steve Bannon compared "MAGA" to the victims of the Holocaust mediamatters.org/steve-bannon/s…
These are just the examples that *stand out*. The daily, hourly drumbeat of far right talking points about globalists, George Soros, "grooming", CRT, "crime infested cities" all have antisemitic roots.

Attacks on LGBTQ people, Black people, immigrants, -- this is all connected.
Yesterday it was reported that Trump is considering Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has openly embraced neo-Nazis, white supremacists, Holocaust deniers, and Christian nationalism, as his 2024 running mate. businessinsider.com/donald-trump-r…
The conservative pro-Israel establishment does nothing to protect us from this.

They could not exist without the support of far-right Christian supremacists. They openly scapegoat the vast majority of all American Jews who are liberal and leftists to maintain proximity to power
How’d I leave this absolutely infuriating example out: Doug Mastriano advisor Jenna Ellis attacking Josh Shapiro openly for being Jewish

NEW: @mmfa has launched a major new project tracking Trump's closest advisers across the entire right-wing media. This resource will be updated on a weekly basis.

A thread on who's who in Trumpworld 2.0: mediamatters.org/donald-trump/g…
Image
We are tracking a close-knit circle of operatives -- from podcast hosts to think tank presidents to far-right internet trolls, based on public reporting on who's exerting influence behind the scenes on Trump.
Trumpworld is a volatile, back-biting universe. Power centers rise and fall on an extremely fluid basis. We're going to update this peice with breaking news as it develops.

Here's who's on our radar upon launch:

Christian Zionist Michelle Bachmann tells Charlie Kirk at Amfest conference:

"It's time that Gaza ends. The 2 million people who live there, they are clever assassins. they need to be removed from that land, that land needs to be turned into a national park."

Crowd cheers
Bachman was on for several segments, during which she and Kirk pushed the white supremacist Great Replacement conspiracy theory, said Muslims shouldn't be serving in congress, said Somalians are turning Minnesota into a terrorist hellhole, I could go on.

It was completely insane
sorry from my janky video cut folks

Antisemites in right-wing media are mask off like I've never seen before. Consensus that this is the path forward is hardening.

Charlie Kirk today: “Some of the largest financiers of left-wing anti-white causes have been Jewish Americans” mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk/c…

Kirk is endorsing Elon Musk's antisemitic conspiracy theory that Jews are using immigration to destabilize the country, which he described as "the actual truth"

Last weekend Donald Trump called his political enemies "vermin", a Hitlerian term, the premise of which was used to justify the genocide of 6 million Jews and millions of others he despised.

The comments received muted coverage from the mainstream media. mediamatters.org/abc/trump-call…

Lachlan Murdoch is now the sole chairman of his family's media empire.

He is a dangerous ideologue who unwaveringly backed Tucker Carlson's white supremacy on the network.

A thread on what to expect from Rupert's son: mediamatters.org/murdoch-family…
Big picture: Lachlan is inheriting a volatile media landscape and simply does not have the chops of his father and Roger Ailes to take Fox into the future.

Statement from @mmfa president @GoAngelo
@mmfa @GoAngelo Murdoch was the number one champion of Tucker Carlson, even as he cost Fox News millions in ad revenue and spread dangerous extremism that inspired acts of right-wing terrorism around the world. mediamatters.org/tucker-carlson…

NEW from my team @mmfa: Inside the "tradwife" battle roiling right-wing media

Conservative influencers are fighting over the question: Exactly how misogynistic should they be? mediamatters.org/blazetv/right-…
In recent months, TPUSA’s Alex Clark, BlazeTV's Allie Beth Stuckey, Mikhaila Peterson, and others have taken aim at two insurgent communities that — like Clark et al. — speak to or about young women: "tradewives" and the "manosphere"
On social media tradwife influencers create content that embraces the vintage aesthetics of stay-at-home wives and mothers and glorify submissiveness and domesticity.

The trend is not only cringe, but also competing for the audience of young women tuned into right-wing media
