FBI tweet about 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion' draws sharp criticism
Aug 19, 2020 / 07:18 PM CDT
A tweet from the FBI referencing a document long associated with anti-Semitic conspiracy theories was met with an angry blowback on social media Wednesday.
The official FBI Records Vault tweeted without context “Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion” with a link to related FBI records.
“The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” is an infamous text from the early 20th century that falsely describes a Jewish plot to control the world.
Called the “mother of all Jewish conspiracies” by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the “Protocols” made headlines during Trump’s impeachment hearings in December when former national security aide Fiona Hill called anti-George Soros conspiracy theories amplified by GOP lawmakers “the new ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion.'”

Comment: Found this on a local TV station. The link on the tweet has the scanned FBI investigation records and notes going back to the easy 1940's. Good for history buffs.
