An upcoming campaign fundraiser for Donald Trump is set to feature Candace Owens, a far-right influencer who has been accused in recent months of advancing antisemitic tropes.
According to Jewish Insider, the campaign event will be held in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday, headlined by the GOP presidential nominee’s son Donald Trump Jr.
In April, Owens broke ranks with Ben Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew who runs a conservative media outlet, in part over Owens’ seeming embrace of Christian antisemitic tropes, including that Jews imbibe blood.
