Trump official's 'disgraceful' anti-Jewish comments condemned by 'appalled' ADL chief
The Anti-Defamation League chief spoke out Saturday against Greg Bovino, formally the face of Border Patrol and President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown before his demotion earlier this week, after he was exposed for making “disparaging remarks” to a Trump-nominated prosecutor over their Jewish faith.
Bovino spoke by phone on Jan. 12 with U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen, an Orthodox Jew, and lawyers from Rosen’s office about what Bovino alleged was their lack of cooperation with Border Patrol’s immigration enforcement efforts in Minneapolis. During the call, according to several anonymous sources who spoke with the Times, Bovino lashed out at Rosen by making “derisive remarks” about his Jewish faith.
That didn't sit well with ADL Chief Jonathan Greenblatt. He took to social media to condemn the comments.
