In Pennsylvania’s fiercely contested Senate race, Sen. Bob Casey and Jewish elected officials are charging his GOP challenger with profiting off his investment in Rumble, a video platform that has amplified far-right antisemitism and Holocaust denial.
The issue, amid rising antisemitism across the U.S., has become a particularly potent one in the contest between Casey and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick, both of whom won their primaries in April.
In a television ad that began airing recently, Casey, a three-term Democrat, called out McCormick’s financial investments in Rumble , which was founded in 2013 as an alternative to YouTube and has grown popular among far-right after figures.
Nick Fuentes , a prominent white supremacist and Holocaust denier, maintains an active page featuring his live shows, which are replete with antisemitic and anti-Israel content. Rumble is publicly traded, but has also attracted investments from prominent right-wing venture capitalist Peter Thiel and Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio.
