(JEWISH GROUP) US Congressman blasts Puka Nacua for antisemitic dance on livestream

It’s been a rough few weeks off the field for Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua. Most recently, he’s come under fire for his actions during a livestream with two internet personalities, Adin Ross and N3on.

In one clip from the stream, Nacua is seen doing an antisemitic dance where he spins a dreidel and rubs his hands together. It’s an antisemitic trope known as the “Covetous Jew,” aimed at mocking Jewish people.

Nacua promised Ross he’ll perform the dance if he scores a touchdown.

“You promise?” Ross asks.

Nacua: “I promise. I got you, bro.”

It's unclear if Nacua knew the meaning of the dance when he performed it on the stream and promised to do it during a game.

How can you not know that a gesture called "the covetous Jew" is anti-Semitic? I'm not buying his plea of ignorance or apology at all.

It is almost always the same when it is anti-Semitism involved. Plead ignorance. Give non-apology apology. All is forgiven!
