Accusations of antisemitism, Nazism and racism
- Q34 What happened with your 'actual truth' post?
He calls it possibly the most foolish of ~30,000 posts, says he's sorry, that his clarifications were ignored, and that he is not antisemitic.
- Q35 Was your inauguration gesture a Nazi salute?
He said legacy media claimed a random 'my heart goes out to you' hand gesture was a deliberate Nazi salute; every public speaker has made the same gesture.
- Q36 Are you racist or anti-Muslim?
Not racist (his partner is half Indian, executives of all races); he opposes immigrants with views antithetical to Western values.
- Q62 What do you think of South Africa's race laws?
He rejected the conflict frame and said South Africa has improper racist laws, contrary to Mandela’s equal-footing idea, with about 140 laws preferring Black South Africans.
- Q68 Is DEI connected to antisemitism?
He said DEI sounds like nice words but means discrimination on race, sex and sexual orientation, against merit, and is fundamentally antisemitic.
