Jim Marchant, a candidate for the Republican nomination in the 2024 U.S. Senate race in Nevada, has repeatedly promoted an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that a shadowy cabal of people have a nefarious, long-running plan that Abraham Lincoln and John Fitzgerald Kennedy were assassinated for opposing.
According to a new report from Jewish Insider, Marchant suggested that this group — which backs the Democratic Party — “had a plan for thousands of years, actually… they’re evil people. You know, they’ve taken control of everything through the money system. And you know, just look it up, it started with the Khazarians.”
Marchant’s reference to “the Khazarians” pertains to the theory that Ashkenazi Jews are descended from the Khazarians, a nomadic, Eastern European ethnic group often featured in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and historiography.
From Jewish Insider’s story:
Marchant went on to say that this group “infiltrated everything, including the central bankers and all of that. And they have controlled everything. And they bailed us out after the Civil War. They turned us into a corporation.”
He claimed that Presidents Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon were targeted for assassination or other retribution for their opposition to this plan.
In other interviews and public appearances, Marchant has repeatedly utilized similar rhetoric.
Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV), the Jewish former synagogue president who currently holds the seat, votes for “the globalist corporations and the cabal, basically” and “gets told what to do,” voting for “bills that keep them in power” in order to “suppress” the U.S. economy, technology and healthcare, Marchant said in an appearance on Arielle and Rosemary Reality Talk in January.
