Tweet was from Patrick Casey, ex-head of a defunct racist group, who said Trump can ‘revoke someone’s Jew card’

The leader of a prominent Jewish group has condemned Leo Terrell, the head of Donald Trump’s official antisemitism taskforce, for sharing a post by a white supremacist.

The post Terrell shared was written by Patrick Casey last Wednesday. It accompanied footage of the US president saying in the Oval Office that Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic Senate minority leader, “used to be Jewish” and “is not Jewish anymore, he’s a Palestinian”.
