(JTA) — Kingsley Wilson, a Department of Defense official who has repeatedly echoed antisemitic rhetoric online, will serve as the Pentagon’s new press secretary, according to a recent announcement.

“Kingsley’s leadership has been integral to the DoD’s success & we look forward to her continued service to President Trump!” said Sean Parnell, the chief Pentagon spokesman and a senior advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in a post on X Friday.

Wilson reposted the announcement to her X account, writing that she was “Honored to serve President Trump and our warfighters.”
