Users of far-right social media site Gab aim antisemitic threats at Pennsylvania Jewish lawmaker

Users of the far-right social media site Gab have posted antisemitic threats targeting a Jewish Pennsylvania lawmaker who criticized the site.

State Rep. Dan Frankel participated in a press conference last month criticizing Gab after news reports revealed that Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano was active on the site and had paid Gab a $5000 “consulting fee.”

Frankel had condemned the “white nationalist vision that unifies Gab users”; when one Gab user posted his comments, a user replied: “It’s coming kike. Hold on to your yamulke.”

Another user replied: “He knows what happens to people like him once it happens.”
