But those antisemitic displays have not earned him an in with his fellow far-right personalities. Instead, after Lang\u2019s anti-Muslim rally in New York City earlier this month was derailed by bomb-throwing counterprotesters, they ramped up a campaign against him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis f\u2014cking r\u2014tard larping as a white Christian is jewish,\u201d wrote social media personality Dan Bilzerian, who has increasingly embraced antisemitic rhetoric and conspiracy theories, in a post on X to his 2 million followers. \u201cThis is what jews do, they pretend to be white to spread white, black and Muslim hate only to later separate themselves later by saying oh but I\u2019m not white I\u2019m jewish.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nick Fuentes, the antisemitic livestreamer at the center of a growing divide at the Republican party, quickly piled on.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis guy is a Jewish operative and his entire campaign is a psyop to instigate conflict between Whites and Muslims to gin up support for escalation against Iran,\u201d Fuentes tweeted. \u201cCouldn\u2019t be more transparent yet all of you people are falling for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
In far-right corners where antisemitism is a currency, it was an explosive allegation. But it was also rooted in truth about Lang\u2019s Jewish heritage.<\/p>\n
In November, after Lang staged another anti-Muslim protest in Dearborn, Michigan, photos circulated online of him holding a bar mitzvah certificate with his name on it at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. He quickly denounced Judaism but soon disclosed to Nick Shirley, the far-right YouTuber, that his mother is \u201cRussian Jewish.\u201d<\/p>\n
The disclosure gained new attention within the far-right ecosystem after Lang\u2019s demonstration outside Gracie Mansion, the home of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. And Lang, a pardoned Jan. 6 protester who is currently vying for a Senate seat in Florida, offered more details about his background.<\/p>\n
During an appearance on a podcast hosted by right-wing Jewish activist Laura Loomer, he again said his mother is Jewish. But he was baptized as a child, he said, while contending that his mother isn\u2019t among the kind of Jews whom far-right antisemites, including himself, view as pernicious.<\/p>\n
