GOP Senate contender throws Nazi salute at anti-Israel protest: video

Pardoned January 6 rioter and GOP Senate contender Jake Lang reportedly threw a Nazi salute during an anti-Israel protest this week in Washington, D.C.

Lang, who was previously punched in the face for leading a march against Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan, was outside pro-Israel lobby AIPAC on Jan. 4 when he started throwing gold coins and gave a Nazi salute, The South Florida Sun Sentinel reported.

Video from journalist Ford Fischer captured multiple moments where Lang was shouting antisemitic tropes and spoke of the Grand Replacement Theory, which wrongly claims "that Jews are orchestrating mass immigration."

“White people in America, you will be replaced, and your children will be Black Muslims if you don’t stand up now,” Lang said, according to the video footage. “AIPAC is one of the main components to the people at the head of Hollywood that are brainwashing your children to vote Democrat, to take your guns and to take your freedom. It’s time we fight back.”

Lang has planned to run as a Republican in Florida — and not expected to be a top contender.

Watchdog groups have warned of a rise of antisemitism among far-right influencers, including Nick Fuentes, involving live streamed videos where MAGA loyalists make unfounded, racist and antisemitic attacks.

Republican leaders, including Vice President JD Vance, have been urged to respond to the rise of antisemitism among its party, showing fractures among the MAGA movement over how to address the concerns.

"But Vice President JD Vance has indicated that while he opposes antisemitism, he is not inclined to draw a line against rising antisemitism in his party. At the same time, AIPAC, which Lang targeted, has become anathema in both parties as support for Israel has plummeted in recent years," according to The Sun Sentinel.
