(JEWISH GROUP) A Pentagon official spewed antisemitism. Her words about child victims of Oct. 7 are even more hateful
Kingsley Wilson, the newly appointed deputy Pentagon press secretary, has a record of antisemitic social media posts so bad that Republican senators and former Trump officials are questioning her fitness to serve in the Trump administration.
But shocked as I was by Wilson’s tacit endorsement of the far-right great replacement theory, her disdain for the U.S.-Israel relationship, and her abhorrent statement that the lynched Jewish American Leo Frank was guilty of rape and murder — even though modern historians overwhelmingly agree on his innocence — I want to focus on a uniquely disturbing claim of hers, one that cuts to the core of the Jewish soul.
On Oct. 12, 2023, she posted on X: “The images of the babies murdered by Hamas are horrific. I wish images of aborted babies evoked a similar global outcry.”

That comment almost made me physically ill. Thirty-eight precious children were killed by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, the deadliest attack on Jewish people since the Holocaust. Yet instead of simply expressing horror or sympathy — any of the sentiments that might arise from basic decency — Wilson appropriated the precious memory of those children for her politics. Simply put, she stole from our overwhelming grief and pain to push her agenda in a sickening fashion.
