Wilson, however, went on to say that "senior representatives of the Department of Defense will no longer be participating in an event that promotes the evil of globalism, disdain for our great country, and hatred for the president of the United States."
The Anti-Defamation League notes that the word "globalist" is a term that is frequently used "as an antisemitic dog whistle" and can be wielded "as a codeword for Jews or as a pejorative term for people whose interests in international commerce or finance ostensibly make them disloyal to the country in which they live."
Wilson has a yearslong history of making social media posts on her personal social media account that trafficked in a variety of extremist rhetoric, ranging from antisemitic conspiracy theories to white nationalist talking points. While some comments were made as far back as 2021, others are far more recent.
In August, Wilson posted a decades-old antisemitic trope questioning the facts behind the lynching of Leo Frank, a Jewish man who was wrongly convicted of raping and murdering a child more than a hundred years ago in Atlanta.
That post was still available at the time of this story's publication.
