Second gentleman Doug Emhoff – the first Jewish person in his position – convened a roundtable on antisemitism at the White House on Wednesday, where he warned of an “epidemic of hate facing our country.” “We’re seeing a rapid rise in antisemitic rhetoric and acts,” Emhoff said at the start of the roundtable. “Let me be clear: words matter. People are no longer saying the quiet parts out loud – they are literally screaming them.
And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides. Silence is complicity.” During his remarks on Wednesday, Emhoff detailed his own personal and family history with Judaism as he said that he is “in pain” but “proud to live openly as a Jew.” And discussed the deadly White nationalist protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, where demonstrators were heard chanting antisemitic phrases – including “Jews will not replace us.
