Trump Appoints Siggy Flicker to Holocaust Museum Council Amid Controversy

President Donald Trump appointed Siggy Flicker, a former Real Housewives of New Jersey star and vocal Trump supporter, to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, replacing appointees from the Biden administration who were removed. Flicker, an Israeli-American matchmaker and television personality, expressed gratitude for the appointment and commitment to 'never forget' the Holocaust. Her stepson, Tyler Campanella, was charged with misdemeanors related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, with an Instagram post from Flicker's account appearing in his indictment, showing support for his actions. Trump emphasized that the new appointees are strong supporters of Israel, highlighting the nation's significance to Holocaust survivors. The council changes also included other Trump allies and donors, such as real estate developer Alex Witkoff, reflecting a broader purge of Biden-era members like Doug Emhoff. Flicker's appointment has drawn attention due to the controversy surrounding her stepson's involvement in the Capitol riot and her public support of Trump.
