Trump’s Antisemitism Task Force Chief Faces Backlash for Sharing Posts by White Nationalist and Antisemitic Accounts
Leo Terrell, appointed to lead the Federal Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, reposted controversial content, raising questions about his judgment and affiliations.
- Leo Terrell, head of Trump’s Federal Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, shared a post by Patrick Casey, a former leader of the white nationalist group Identity Evropa.
- Casey’s post referenced President Trump’s remark that Senator Chuck Schumer is 'not Jewish anymore,' suggesting Trump could 'revoke someone’s Jew card.'
- Terrell also reposted content from the Hodgetwins, a podcast accused of promoting antisemitic rhetoric and hosting white supremacist guests.
- Critics have pointed out the inconsistency between Terrell’s role combating antisemitism and his amplification of individuals with histories of antisemitic and racist statements.
- The controversy has drawn attention to Terrell’s broader activities, including his alignment with pro-Israel groups and his advocacy for deporting pro-Palestinian activists.
