A self-described antisemite, the latest vile remarks from Mr. White follow earlier rhetoric from the aspiring United States Senator decrying ‘the Jewish lobby,’ claims that Jews focus on the Holocaust ‘to provide a victimhood cover for their own corrupt practices,’ and the charge that Israel is ‘the lynchpin of the New World Order.’

These most recent and past comments from Mr. White demonstrably prove Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt’s ‘horseshoe theory’ that antisemitism has infected our politics from both ends of the political spectrum. 

August 13 is the last day to vote in Minnesota’s state’s primary elections. We hope that Republican voters and party leaders will strongly consider whether the habitual antisemitism of Mr. White, which we unequivocally condemn, is something that can be looked past when deciding their party’s standard bearer for the general election.
