New Report: GOP Lawmakers Are Using Antisemitism for Own Political Power — Including Scott Perry

Scott Perry continues to be a national embarrassment for the people of Pennsylvania.

This morning, Perry finds himself the subject of a new American Jewish Council report that names him and fellow extremists Reps. Gosar and Taylor Greene as politicians who are “targeting American Jews.”

The report declares that Greene’s Holocaust comparisons, Gosar’s support of those remarks and announced fundraiser with a Holocaust denier and prominent white nationalist, and Perry’s comparison of political opponents to Nazis and echoing of an anti-semitic replacement theory “amplifies, emboldens, and normalizes antisemitism online and in society.”

The report further highlights QAnon and the Big Lie about the election as “toxic drivers of antisemitic hate.” Perry voted against an overwhelmingly bipartisan resolution condemning QAnon and was a leader of the Big Lie movement to overturn the election.

James Singer, DCCC Spokesperson

“Scott Perry being named as an example of a politician ‘targeting American Jews’ is the latest embarrassment for the Congressman who has betrayed the trust of his constituents to spread extreme, dangerous conspiracies.”
