"Oh, yeah. When I've said Donald Trump isn't an anti-Semite or whatever I've said in the past, what I mean to say is only I don't know what's in his heart any more than I know what's in yours, although I know you, so I do, she said. She continued, referencing a clip of the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville in 2017: But what I mean to say is it's sort of irrelevant. What I know is that we have a president who, as my colleague Bret Stephens has perfectly written, he is dismantling the moral guardrails that keep bigotry down."
"When he talks about the enemies of the people, when he talks about globalists, there is a reason that anti-Semites, like the people in that clip, are drawn to his banner. He is playing all of the major chords that anti-Semites are drawn to. And so, you know, and I'll go further than that. When he says things about the members of The Squad, people like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar and [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] AOC and Ayanna Pressley, people that I disagree with vehemently"
In 2020, while employed at The New York Times, Bari Weiss accused President Donald Trump of using anti‑Jewish tropes and aiding a rise in antisemitism. She said the distinction between Trump's private beliefs and the effects of his words was irrelevant. She argued that Trump is dismantling moral guardrails that keep bigotry down and cited phrases like 'enemies of the people' and 'globalists' as attracting anti‑Semites. She referenced the Unite the Right rally as an example of those drawn to his rhetoric and criticized his attacks on members of The Squad as providing safe harbor to white supremacists. These remarks preceded her resignation and the founding of The Free Press.
