A surge in antisemitic rhetoric has been observed in popular pro-Trump podcasts, posing a stark contrast to the Trump administration's official stance against antisemitism. Key influencers, like Candace Owens and Andrew Tate, are promoting harmful conspiracy theories regarding Jews, including discussions about Israel and other antisemitic tropes. Notably, these podcast episodes reached millions of listeners, suggesting a troubling shift within the MAGA community, with both supporters and critics acknowledging the alarming rise in antisemitism among its ranks. This discord reflects deeper moral and political divisions within Trump's base.
Both sides of the MAGA divide agree that last week marked an inflection point in the mainstreaming of antisemitism on the so-called New Right.
Candace Owens, a pro-Trump lightning rod who left The Daily Wire last year over her embrace of antisemitic rhetoric, was a guest on 'This Past Weekend with Theo Von.'
Driving the news: Conspiracy theories about Israel, Jeffrey Epstein and Jewish elites dominated four MAGA-friendly podcasts last week that had previously hosted Trump.
Together, the conversations were broadcast to tens of millions of listeners on Spotify, YouTube and other platforms.
