Zach Fish, who serves as the chief of staff for New York Congresswoman Mondaire Jones (Dem-Westchester County) tweeted on Monday: “As I left my office in Longworth yesterday, I discovered something that, as a Jew, horrified me. At the United States Capitol Police security checkpoint, someone had left vile anti-Semitic propaganda in plain sight.”
Fish continued: “For those of you who donât recognize this, it is one of the foundational white supremacist texts of the 20th century. It inspired Hitler himself and served as justification for his killing of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust.”
