<p>Deputy Department of Defense press secretary Kingsley Wilson has a ‘long history’ of bigoted social media posts, according to a report</p>
 
 
Before working for the Pentagon, a spokeswoman for the Trump administration posted that the United States should spend its money domestically rather than aiding Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan and, among other things, that Leo Frank, who is widely considered the victim of an antisemitic blood libel, was guilty, Jewish Insider reported.

The Anti-Defamation League told the publication that it hopes that Kingsley Wilson, the deputy press secretary at the U.S. Defense Department, will retract her comments immediately.

“We are deeply disturbed that any public official would parrot these hateful and false conspiracy theories,” the nonprofit told Jewish Insider. (JNS sought comment from the Pentagon.)

“Anyone who posts antisemitic conspiracy theories lifted right out of the neo-Nazi playbook should not be in public office,” wrote the American Jewish Committee, adding that Wilson “is clearly unfit for her role.”

“It’s horrible; it’s just not appropriate,” Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) said, per Politico. “Sometimes people think they’re anonymous when they’re on social media, that they can comment or post on whatever may be their attitude at the time and then they later regret it.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said that U.S. President Donald Trump “doesn’t believe any of the things she’s talking about, and I’ll leave it up to them to determine if they think she’s the right spokesperson,” according to Politico. “If what you say about these posts are true, then she’s completely off-script with President Trump.”

Wilson was sworn in on Jan. 20.
