Trump Uses 'Shylock' Slur Defending Republican Senator
Original: shylock
Donald Trump used the word 'shylock', an antisemitic slur, while speaking in defence of a Republican senator in a combative speech. The remark drew criticism from Jewish organisations and others, who condemned the use of a term widely recognised as offensive and rooted in antisemitic stereotypes. Bloomberg reported the comment as part of the increasingly combative tone of the president's public appearances.
Why now: The sitting US president's use of an antisemitic slur in a public speech sparked immediate controversy.
