‘Malicious poison’: GOP senator slams Biden's antisemitism envoy pick for criticizing his Jan. 6 rhetoric

 

Sen. Ron Johnson on Tuesday accused President Joe Biden’s nominee to serve as the top U.S. antisemitism envoy of engaging in “malicious poison” after the renowned Holocaust scholar called out the Wisconsin Republican for “white supremacy.”

 

Deborah Lipstadt, the Emory University professor nominated last year to serve as the State Department's special envoy for monitoring and combating antisemitism, has faced scrutiny from Republicans for her past public criticism of what she identified as dangerous rhetoric — including occasional callouts of specific lawmakers, like Johnson. Republicans had demanded additional vetting of Lipstadt, causing a six-month delay of her consideration by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

 

When Lipstadt got her long-awaited hearing on Tuesday, she offered the apology for her critical tweet about Johnson that the senator had denied insisting on as a condition of advancing her nomination. But she and Johnson also tangled openly.

 

Lipstadt pushed back on the idea that her efforts to call out antisemitism and racism have been partisan, noting that she has called out Democrats, too, for similar rhetoric and calling herself “an equal-opportunity foe of antisemitism.”

 

“A person’s political persuasions are irrelevant in the fight against antisemitism,” said Lipstadt, whose victorious court battle against a Holocaust denier in the United Kingdom was turned into a movie starring Rachel Weisz.

 

“Those people who only see antisemitism … on the other side of the political transom are not really interested in fighting antisemitism,” she added. “They’re weaponizing antisemitism.”

In a March tweet, Lipstadt charged Johnson with engaging in “white supremacy/nationalism. Pure and simple.”
