David McCormick Invested Millions in a “Far-Right Web Hosting Platform That is a Bastion for Antisemitic Hate Speech”
PENNSYLVANIA — Today in Harrisburg, State Representative Dan Frankel continued the Don’t Trust Dave Tour by joining Democratic Jewish Outreach Pennsylvania to hold a press conference holding David McCormick accountable for investing millions of dollars in a far-right web hosting platform that uplifts hate speech.
“You can’t call out antisemitism on Monday, and then invest millions of dollars in a platform for known hatemongers on Tuesday,” said state Representative Dan Frankel. “David McCormick’s actions speak louder than his tweets.”
“David McCormick’s hypocrisy is on full display with his investments in a site that promotes antisemitic content,” said Democratic Jewish Outreach Pennsylvania Co-Founder and Chair Jill Zipin. “Pennsylvanians can see right through his act of pretending to oppose hate speech.”
