I hope you’re sitting down for this shocking news, but a Trump administration appointee is… a horrible racist. Yes, I know, what an unexpected development. This latest ghoul is Kingsley Wilson, who was unveiled yesterday as the Pentagon’s new press secretary.
Wilson is at the center of a long-running controversy about her conspiracy-minded anti-semitic social media posts. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill Trump-era bigotry, but some real old-school expert-level hatred. Much of this centers on the notorious historic lynching of Jewish-American man Leo Frank, who in 1913 was accused of the murder of a 13-year-old girl, kidnapped from prison in 1915, and lynched by an angry mob.
