The Trump administrations new policy of denying immigration benefits to people expressing antisemitic views apparently doesnt apply to white South Africans.
One of the Afrikaner refugees who has taken up President Trumps offer for white South Africans to immigrate to the United States to flee a nonexistent genocide has a history of posting antisemitic content on social media. Charl Kleinhaus, who claims to be a former farmer, has called Jewish people untrustworthy and dangerous.
Kleinhaus also responded to a post on X about clashes in Jerusalem between Palestinians and Israelis with a link to a video and the caption Jews spitting on Christians! But if one were to think that Kleinhaus opposes Israel, that would be a mistake. After Hamass October 7 attacks on Israel, he made several posts praising the country and offering it his total support.
Kleinhauss claims to be a farmer are also suspect, as his X account mentions his ownership of a granite mine, which he put up for sale last month. The Bulwark points out that Kleinhauss X profile is otherwise full of pro-Christian, pro-Trump, and pro-MAGA content.
