Delaware GOP Leader Says Jews Are to Blame for Trump's Impeachment

Delaware’s Sussex County Republicans Vice Chairwoman, Nelly Jordan, wrote an antisemitic post on Facebook blaming Jews for Trump’s impeachment and stating that, “as it was in the times of the Old Testament,” Jews are going against “God’s will.” See below for an excerpt of the later-deleted post:

“What amazes me the most in these theatrical Congress hearings, is to see how many Jews ‘In Name Only’ lend themselves to be in the hoaks [sic] of the pure made up story of Impeachment that the Democrats have woven as spiders catching flies and bugs…These jews [sic] have been enrolled to come and testify, to come and interrogate and to be involved in anything that the Democrats enlist them to do to try to look credible to the people of this country.”

The following week, the Sussex County Republicans narrowly voted to remove Jordan from her position. Republican community members rallied in support of her, holding signs reading “I Stand with Nelly” and deriding “political correctness.”
