Jewish Insider caught Rep. Scott Perry's (R-PA) campaign Facebook page sharing an antisemitic meme about Jewish bankers. When they called for comment, the post quickly disappeared, The Inquirer reported Wednesday.
The reports reveal that the meme depicted a banker with a thick beard, which is generally associated with Jewish Orthodox men. It also had a game board with green dollar bills over it.
“If the people stand … the game is over,” said the caption above the image.

Perry's campaign wrote, “Says it all…,” in the comment above the meme.
"The image depicts a scheming cabal of stereotypically Jewish bankers with hooked noses and thick beards gathered around a Monopoly board that sits atop the hunching backs of a group of naked figures," wrote the Jewish Insider.
The campaign responded to JI by saying: "After receiving your inquiry, learning the history of the image, and contacting several members of the Jewish community (some who were familiar with it and some who were not) out of grave concern that it is considered antisemitic — we removed it immediately."
It isn't the first time that Perry has promoted a Nazi conspiracy theory.
During a May House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing about the rise in antisemitism, Perry touted the so-called "White Replacement Theory."
"When [Jamie] Raskin — when my colleague from Maryland talks about 'White Replacement Theory' — 'Replacement Theory' is real," complained Perry.
"They added 'white' to it to stop everybody from talking about it," Perry continued.
The so-called "Replacement Theory" is a conspiracy that claims the white race is under threat of extinction at the hands of Jews and other minority groups, the American Jewish Committee postson its website.
That May 7th incident happened just months after Perry shared a post from neo-Nazis who once claimed "Hitler was right."
"British citizens are receiving letters 'asking' to purchase their homes to house illegal migrant men only," the post said. "Indigenous Brits are LITERALLY being replaced by foreign men. We are living in very dark times."
"I'm sure this is nothing to worry about," Perry wrote sarcastically in the post on Feb. 20.
According to The Inquirer, the meme that Perry’s campaign shared most recently came from a mural painted in London by a graffiti artist. The mural was removed in 2012 after being widely denounced as antisemitic.
