Schwartz has never met Kushner but said she hoped her letter would compel him as a Trump adviser to take action. “It was a personal issue,” Schwartz, an entertainment writer, told CNN’s “New Day.” “I responded immediately because I saw it as an anti-Semitic issue.” Observer writer urges owner – and Trump son-in-law – to condemn anti-Semitism The presumptive GOP presidential nominee set off a firestorm last weekend by tweeting a graphic of Hillary Clinton that featured a six-point star evoking the Star of David and a pile of cash with the words “most corrupt candidate ever.” The letter was posted Tuesday on the Observer’s website. Schwartz sat down Wednesday with CNN’s Alisyn Camerota to explain why she addressed the issue to Kushner, whose publishing company owns the Observer. I have personally seen him embrace people of all racial and religious backgrounds, at his companies and in his personal life,” Kushner wrote. His support has been unwavering and from the heart. “The fact is that my father in law is an incredibly loving and tolerant person who has embraced my family and our Judaism since I began dating my wife. A recent New York Times profile described him in its headline as the candidate’s “quiet fixer.” As the presumptive Republican nominee’s campaign has progressed, Kushner’s influence within its often muddled hierarchy has grown. The 35-year-old publisher has been married to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, who converted to Judaism before their wedding, since 2009. “The difference between me and the journalists and Twitter throngs who find it so convenient to dismiss my father in law is simple. “I go into these details, which I have never discussed, because it’s important to me that people understand where I’m coming from when I report that I know the difference between actual, dangerous intolerance versus these labels that get tossed around in an effort to score political points,” he wrote. Kushner wrote of his grandmother’s escape from the Holocaust, and how she met his grandfather – who’d lived in a hole he’d dug in the woods to hide from Nazis for three years. “What do we call the people who won’t hire minorities or beat others up for their religion?” “If even the slightest infraction against what the speech police have deemed correct speech is instantly shouted down with taunts of ‘racist’ then what is left to condemn the actual racists?” he wrote. “In my opinion, accusations like ‘racist’ and ‘anti-Semite’ are being thrown around with a carelessness that risks rendering these words meaningless,” Kushner wrote. ![]() ![]() Best, easiest software deployment suite?

Dozens of centuries and a bout of colonial influence later, these indigenous roots have mixed with Catholicism to create three distinct holidays: Día de los Muertos All Saints Day, which honors children who have died and All Souls Day, which celebrates the lives of perished adults. The origins of Día de los Muertos date back over 3,000 years and are rooted in Aztec lore, where it was believed that honoring ancestors as they crossed between the afterlife and the world of the living would bring a bountiful harvest. ” I’m sure everyone, regardless of race or religion, has a sense of honoring their loved ones.” “We love to share our culture,” he said, inviting people who aren’t necessarily Mexican - or even Hispanic - to join in the celebrations.

MHA’s Roberts says his organization has also been in touch with the GT Band and will host an informational tent manned by tribal representatives next to the replica ships to provide educational context regarding Columbus’ impact on indigenous peoples. “We’ll make sure everyone’s First Amendment rights are upheld. “So far, we’re not expecting any type of problem,” O’Brien says. At least two TCPD officers will be on-site throughout the weekend, and tribal police will also be present, according to O’Brien. Traverse City Police Department Chief Jeff O’Brien tells The Ticker he’s spoken with both GT Band and MHA representatives as well as potential protestors about the event. Timothy Grey of Traverse City called the replicas “floating monuments of a 500-year holocaust" and added that “being in a time period now where monuments and symbolisms of things in the past are so contentious….allowing these ships to dock here is dangerous." “Especially when it’s the Peshabestown Pow-Wow weekend and other indigenous communities are coming through…a lot of people are viewing this as basically an attack on their safety.” “It’s disgusting, it’s very disrespectful,” said Garfield Township’s Randy Day of the ships’ visit. ![]() At Monday night’s Traverse City commission meeting, a handful of residents indicated they planned to protest the MHA event this weekend and called on city leaders to turn the ships away and/or issue statements of support for local indigenous peoples. The replica ships have drawn protests in other Great Lakes communities they’ve visited this summer, including Lorain, Ohio and Oswego and Brewerton, New York. “To, in some small way, enter that age, to perhaps get a feeling for Columbus himself, that enigmatic and flawed human being, who, admire or despise him, is one of perhaps only three individuals in all of our long past who, by themselves, for good or ill, personally altered the course of Western history,” the website states. While the Columbus Foundation emphasizes educating the public on ship design and shipbuilding as central to its core mission, it alludes to controversy surrounding Columbus on its website under a heading titled “Best Reasons To Visit the Niña and Pinta.” The British Virgin Islands-based Columbus Foundation, which owns and operates the vessels, describes the Niña as the “most historically accurate replica of a Columbus ship ever built.” The 65-foot vessel tours with the 85-foot Pinta – a “larger version of the archetypal caravel” – as a combined sailing museum that travels to approximately 30 to 40 locations throughout the U.S. “The Niña and Pinta are symbols of a standard and system of thought that should be repugnant to the American ideals of equality and property rights for all people.” “(The vessels) are uniquely damaging, because the replica ships represent the narrative of ‘discovery’ of the ‘new world’ by European claimants and the devastating consequences of the ‘discovery’ for indigenous people,” the GT Band said. In a written statement, the GT Band denounced the visit of “foreign vessels” to Grand Traverse Bay as part of a “private money-making venture” designed to present an “ethnocentric account of contact between American and European peoples.” The MHA event takes place at the same time this weekend as the GT Band’s annual Peshawbestown Traditional Pow-Wow, which draws native members, singers, dancers, artists and artisans from across the region. Some residents and groups including the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa & Chippewa Indians, however, are protesting the ships’ visit as the celebration of a controversial figure responsible for the mass genocide of indigenous peoples. The vessels will be open to self-guided public tours and were invited by the Maritime Heritage Alliance (MHA) to help showcase the “history of shipbuilding,” according to MHA Board President Doug Roberts. Historically accurate replicas of the Niña and Pinta, two of Christopher Columbus’ sailing ships, will dock in Traverse City’s Clinch Marina Friday through Tuesday. Sailing In For Tours.And Protests?
