On the same day she was scheduled to speak at the
Republican National Convention, Mary Ann Mendoza, a mother whose child was killed by an undocumented
immigrant who also serves on the Trump re-election campaign's advisory board, promoted an anti-Semitic
Twitter thread composed by a QAnon conspiracy theorist. The RNC later pulled Mendoza's speech from Tuesday's schedule.The thread endorsed by Mendoza consisted of numerous anti-Semitic posts, many of which were centered on a non-existent "Jewish plot to enslave the world," The Daily Beast reports. The tweets falsely claimed the Rothschild family created a plot to terrorize and destroy non-Jewish people. It also referred to "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," a fabricated anti-Semitic text first published in
Russia in the early 20th century that later became a popular hoax about Jewish world domination in Nazi
Germany.
Mendoza eventually deleted the tweet, claiming she didn't read the whole thread. But the damage was done.
