This Trump backer defended the Jan. 6 riot in print — without mentioning he was there

Another "AntiFa" insurrectionist exposed.

The top editor of a self-described “politically incorrect” Orthodox Jewish newspaper — a Donald Trump booster who scored a recent interview with the former president's impeachment attorney — was among those who entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, according to a POLITICO review of footage captured that day.​

​

Resnick has drawn attention in recent years for incendiary and bigoted comments — labeling African religions as "primitive" and suggesting white supremacy is fictional — and is a longtime vocal supporter of Donald Trump. Just days after Trump’s acquittal in his second impeachment trial, Resnick landed an interview with the former president’s lead attorney, David Schoen. And he’s defended the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in print without acknowledging his previously unreported presence in the building that day.​

​

Resnick’s ultra-conservative politics are rare among the broader community of U.S. Jews, which tilts overwhelmingly toward Democrats. But even among more conservative Orthodox Jews, his statements stand out under the banner of the six-decade-old Jewish Press, whose website touts that it’s been “politically incorrect long before the phrase was coined.” Groups condemning his past rhetoric include the Anti-Defamation League, a mainstream Jewish American institution.​
