Anti-Semitism Is Rising, Trump won't fill a state Department job to fight it

[still_one]

The Anti-Defamation League is calling on him to restore “America’s moral leadership” by naming a new envoy.

A State Department position designed specifically to focus on anti-Semitism has remained empty since President Donald Trump took office. Jewish leaders have repeatedly urged the White House to fill the post, and this week they renewed their push.
The Anti-Defamation League, a national human rights organization, sent a letter to Trump on Monday calling on him to name a new special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism.
With such hatred escalating globally, ADL CEO Jonathan A. Greenblatt wrote that the U.S. needs its “voice on anti-Semitism around the world.”
“That voice has been silent for the past fifteen months,” Greenblatt wrote.

1. Another reason for Republicans to be happy with him

He’s doing what they want.

2. The "president" does not care...

...and as if we needed another example, very few people care. People just don't give a shit about Jews, until they need our money and our votes...or they need a scapegoat. However, given this asshole's record in appointing no-nothing lackwits, if he were to fill the position, it would likely be with someone along the lines of David Duke, Linda Sasour, or Mel Gibson.
