Protester Accuses Trump Of Inciting Anti-Jewish Terror

Newsweek reports:

A press conference for President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign was interrupted Monday by a Jewish American activist, who blamed the president for rising anti-Semitic sentiment and violence in the U.S. The event, held in Des Moines Iowa, was interrupted as Donald Trump Jr.—the president’s eldest son—was at the podium speaking.

Video of the event showed the activist—Elon Glickman, an organizer for the progressive Jewish American group IfNotNow—being bustled out of the room by security as he shouted at Donald Jr. and his brother Eric on stage.

Donald Jr. has propagated anti-Semitic theories about Hungarian-born Jewish billionaire George Soros, who has become a bogeyman for the global right. During the recent House impeachment probe, for example, Donald Jr. dismissed Rep. Adam Schiff—who is Jewish—as “hand-picked and supported by George Soros.”

As the protester was dragged out to chants of “USA! USA!,” Junior gloated from the podium, “This is why I wrote the book Triggered, folks!”
