St. Pete antisemitism press conference<\/h2>
<\/div>

What we know:<\/p>

At 10 a.m., Senator Rick Scott, Attorney General Ashley Moody, civil rights attorney Leo Terrell and Jewish community leaders will be at the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg to condemn antisemitism and really drive home that public dollars are not to support hateful rhetoric.\u00a0<\/p>

This follows Scott\u2019s letter to the Tampa Sports Authority on its decision to platform Ye.<\/p>

Tampa community policy changes<\/h2>

The backstory:<\/p>

Hillsborough County Commissioner Harry Cohen called on the Tampa Sports Authority to develop a community standards policy that balances the rights of free speech with the impact of giving this type of platform to someone.<\/p>

Ye has a history of making antisemitic remarks. He was banned from Instagram and Twitter, or ‘X’ multiple times starting back in 2022. That same year, his long-standing relationship with the company Adidas ended. Adidas cut ties with him because the company “does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech.” He has made positive remarks on Hitler and even has a song about him that was released last year. Ye also sold T-shirts on his website with the swastika on it.<\/p>

Regional Jewish Federation statements<\/h2>

What they’re saying:<\/p>

Fast forward to January this year, Ye purchased a full-page open letter advertisement in the Wall Street Journal, writing about 750 words apologizing to the Jewish community for his reckless actions, attributing his behavior to his bipolar diagnosis and health struggles, but also said it did not excuse the harm he caused.<\/p>

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n <\/div>

“The community at large is upset with the sports authority for hosting Ye and giving him a platform. As far as our statements to Ye, he’s apologized, but he’s done that several times, and there’s a repeating pattern,” Steve Schwersky, president of the Jewish Federation of Florida\u2019s Gulf Coast, said. “And so, you know, Judaism is all about forgiveness, and we’d like to forgive him for his past deeds, but I think he needs to show us a little bit more about his thought process and taking back some of the things he said. So, we’ll give him some time, but right now the Jewish community is not convinced.”<\/p>
