White supremacy, right-wing extremism, and Christian nationalism have found a home in the Republican Party, posing a direct threat to minority groups, including Jews, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community, and to our democracy. The horrors of the Holocaust are part of our collective memory and a call to remain vigilant and oppose bigotry wherever we see it. “Never again” must be more than a slogan: It must be a call to action.

We see far too many echoes of 1930s Germany in today's United States. President Donald Trump, who publicly dined with antisemites Nick Fuentes and Kanye West, repeatedly echoes Nazi rhetoric. On his first day in office, Trump pardoned and released from prison hundreds of dangerous insurrectionists, including Enrique Tarrio, the head of the Proud Boys, a group that espouses white supremacist and antisemitic ideology.

Trump isn't the only member of the Republican party who embraces and uplifts antisemitism. Elon Musk performed, and then repeated for emphasis, a Nazi salute in front of a cheering audience of Trump's supporters. House Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene spread antisemitic conspiracy theories and threaten the lives of their political opponents. Russell Vought, a member of Trump's cabinet, is the primary author of Project 2025, a document that calls for Christian nationalist policies in the federal government. Mike Johnson openly aligns with Christian nationalists, and Steve Bannon parrotted Musk's Nazi salute at a CPAC conference. Republicans refuse to stand up for the Jewish community and condemn the antisemitism infesting their party.

Jewish Americans are not safe until we all make it clear that white supremacy and bigotry have no place in our politics. Sign here to join the Jewish Democratic Council of America in condemning white supremacy in the Republican Party.
