What to know

  • Trump used the antisemitic 'shylock' slur for the second time in roughly a year, this time to defend Sen. Roger Marshall at a Kansas rally.
  • The remark referenced a New York Times report that Marshall sued over 700 patients for unpaid medical bills, which led to arrest warrants; Marshall calls the report a 'hit job'.
  • The Anti-Defamation League has previously called Trump's use of the term antisemitic; Trump has said he did not know of its offensive connotation.
  • Marshall faces a closer-than-expected reelection race against Democrat Adam Hamilton, rated a toss-up by Cook Political Report.

“And if he didn’t make these requests, he would be breaking the law. He would have been breaking a very strong criminal law, and he would be subject to criminal arrest and liability.”
