GOP Officials and Trump Campaign Staff Amplify Antisemitic Site Founded by 9/11 Truther

Multiple Republican Party officials and politicians, including Senior Trump Campaign Advisor Jenna Ellis, shared a story from the antisemitic conspiracy-mongering media outlet The Red Elephants falsely claiming that the 2020 presidential election was being stolen.
