JCPA CEO Amy Spitalnick Condemns President Trump’s Use of Antisemitic Slur

At a recent campaign event in Iowa, President Trump used the antisemitic slur “shylocks” while discussing bankers lending to family farms as part of his reconciliation bill.  In response, JCPA CEO Amy Spitalnick tweeted, “Shylock is among the most quintessential antisemitic stereotypes. This is not an accident. It follows years in which Trump has normalized antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories — and it’s deeply dangerous.”
