Kingsley Wilson, appointed in January to be deputy press secretary at the Pentagon, last year tweeted a neo-Nazi talking point about Jewish lynching victim Leo Frank.
The post came amid a flood of far-right social media content by the Trump administration appointee, who previously worked at an organization founded by the architect of Project 2025, the Christian conservative blueprint for a Trump White House. Many of Wilson’s posts, which remain online, reflect antisemitic conspiracy theories.
The one about Frank has resurged in recent years. Frank was a factory manager in Georgia who was convicted on thin evidence of killing a 13-year-old girl, Mary Phagan, and was sentenced to death. When his sentence was commuted to life in prison, a mob lynched him. The 1915 lynching spurred the creation of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and is widely seen as antisemitic.
Neo-Nazis have long claimed that Frank was guilty and that the consensus that he was framed is evidence of Jewish control of the media. Those claims received publicity in 2023 when the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi group, protested outside previews of “Parade,” a Broadway musical about Frank’s lynching. The protesters criticized the ADL and their banner read, “Leo frankly was a pedo.”

BTTT
So what evidence is there we was not guilty? Thin evidence is still evidence and it beats no evidence that he was not guilty.
Is a neonazi the same as a regular Nazi? Is a neonazi talking point the same as a nazi talking point? What exactly is a talking point? Is it the same as a slogan? It sounds like a neonazi talking point is the same as a Nazi slogan so why don’t they say Nazi slogan?
This kind of thought crime argumentation is just creepy and unethical.
Hey, you have entertained an idea we don’t like so we are going to tar you with the neo nazi label!
So if you ever say that, you are repeating a Nazi talking point.
Regards,
since you brought it up...
She’s not guilty.
From the article:
“On Oct. 10, 2022, shortly after the rapper Kanye West, known as Ye, kicked off a stream of antisemitic invective by threatening to “go death con 3” on Jews, Wilson tweeted, “Team Ye.” (That statement was above a tweet referencing Ye’s comments about the singer Lizzo’s weight.)”
SO I love how they actually state the statement has nothing to do with West’s comments about Jews but that doesn’t stope them for trying to connect the two. Typical...
Concur. What’s the underlying case about Franks?
Shutting down a discussion by calling it “-ism (of any kind) is a tried and true leftist tactic..
Leo Frank did murder and rape that young girl. And Nazis are evil. The low life was no hero and saying as much isn’t Nazi.
Can him.
Correction, can her.
Why?
For tweeting a historical fact?
The argument is that Frank was convicted because white Southern prosecutors and jurors were bigoted.
But given a choice between Frank and Conley, wouldn't bigoted white jurors and prosecutors have preferred to convict the black man?
That they spared Conley suggests they were swayed by the evidence rather than by bigotry.
The response to these people should be:
“No, you’re the racist.”
“No, you’re the anti-Semite.”
This has teeth, because it has truth.
There was as third, the night watchman, Mr. Lee, who found the body.
Mr. Phagan was not only a Jew, he was also from the North, a double-strike against him compared to being a local black man.
Ignore. They lie.
Even so, if bigotry was the motive for prosecutors and jurors, they would have gone after the black suspect.
ADL makes a whole lot of accusations and slander without proof to back it up. Slandering the people of Georgia as Nazis twenty years before Nazism existed.
Knowing that the people who lynched Frank were likely Christians the article illustrates ADL’s anti-Christian bigotry to me. It’s unethical to call ppl names for holding a convicted person accountable for the act they were convicted of committing.
I guess they don’t support the courts or the people when a Jew is the baddie. Sounds like bigotry to me.
I've not heard this being an issue, but was Leo Frank a German Jew? The trial was in 1913, the lynching in 1915. Germans were not very popular at the time. Lots of anti-German war propaganda, despite the U.S. being neutral.
