The Jewish Insider reports:
Kingsley Wilson, a deputy press secretary at the Department of Defense who has come under fire from Democratic and Republican lawmakers and Jewish communal organizations for promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories, has been promoted to serve as the department’s press secretary, the Pentagon announced on Friday.
On two different occasions, she attacked the Anti-Defamation League for sharing its origin story — the organization was founded after the lynching of Leo Frank, an Atlanta Jew widely believed to have been wrongly convicted of raping and murdering a white child over a century ago.
“Leo Frank raped and murdered a 13-year-old girl,” Wilson wrote in 2023 in response to a post from the ADL, and repeated the claim a year later. “He also tried to frame a black man for his crime. The ADL is despicable.” (The tweet has not been deleted.) Wilson has also called Confederate General Robert E. Lee “one of the greatest Americans to ever live” and regularly promoted the antisemitic “Great Replacement Theory.”

In a separate report, the Jewish Insider points to tweets in which Wilson downplays the Holocaust, says that women shouldn’t be police officers, claims Ukraine is not a democracy, praises Germany’s Nazi-linked AfD party, and celebrates Christian nationalism. Wilson is the daughter of former DeSantis presidential campaign spokesperson Steve Cortes and previously worked for a far-right group linked to Project 2025. In the 2024 video below, Wilson says that Zelensky should be “arrested on sight” while visiting the US.
Pentagon promotes Kingsley Wilson to press secretary despite history of antisemitic comments: In social media posts, Wilson promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories, including one about the Anti-Defamation League’s founding jewishinsider.com/2025/05/king…
