Pentagon's No. 2 Spokesperson Has Long History of Antisemitic, Bigoted Social Media Posts

Kingsley Wilson, the Pentagon's new deputy press secretary, has a yearslong history of making social media posts that traffic in a variety of extremist rhetoric, ranging from antisemitic conspiracy theories to white nationalist talking points.

In August, Wilson posted a decades-old antisemitic trope questioning the facts behind the lynching of Leo Frank, a Jewish man who was wrongly convicted of raping and murdering a child more than a hundred years ago in Atlanta.

However, her history of posting xenophobic comments and echoing racist talking points goes as far back as 2021, and she has repeated some ideas — for example, that colonialism was a "humanitarian venture" — many times over the last several years.
