The Washington Post reports:
U.S. Capitol Police suspended an officer Monday after a copy of an infamous antisemitic tract was found near a Capitol Hill security post Sunday, alarming a congressional aide who viewed the document in plain sight at the checkpoint.
Photographs provided to The Washington Post show a printed copy of the Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion on a table inside an entrance to the Longworth House Office Building.
The tract, also known as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, is a virulent fable with a century-long provenance that purports to be the account of a meeting where Jewish masters concoct a plan for world domination.

As I left my office in Longworth yesterday, I discovered something that, as a Jew, horrified me.
At the United States Capitol Police security checkpoint, someone had left vile anti-Semitic propaganda in plain sight. https://t.co/WL1AFNNh0v

For those of you who don’t recognize this, it is one of the foundational white supremacist texts of the 20th century.
It inspired Hitler himself and served as justification for his killing of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust.https://t.co/Xi4WTZHxsA

USCP suspended an officer over this today. I have some questions.
Why did that officer feel comfortable leaving this out in the open?
This printout was tattered and over two years old. Had it been passed around?
How many other USCP officers share these beliefs?

In January 6th, we watched as USCP officers were indifferent to — and even accommodating of — white supremacist insurrectionists, some of whom wore Camp Auschwitz t shirts.
More than two months later, we evidently haven’t solved this problem.

This is both a national security problem and a workplace safety problem.
Our office is full of people — Black, brown, Jewish, queer — who have good reason to fear white supremacists.
If the USCP is all that stands between us and the mob we saw on Jan. 6, how can we feel safe?
