A tweet from the FBI referencing a document long associated with anti-Semitic conspiracy theories was met with an angry blowback on social media Wednesday.
The official FBI Records Vault tweeted without context Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion with a link to related FBI records.
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is an infamous text from the early 20th century that falsely describes a Jewish plot to control the world.

Comment: Found this on a local TV station. The link on the tweet has the scanned FBI investigation records and notes going back to the easy 1940's. Good for history buffs.
