Ben Shapiro, a former Breitbart News editor and outspoken critic of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, received 7,400 of the antisemitic tweets, including one calling him a “Christ-Killer”.

Another example picked out by the study is Julia Ioffe, whose profile of Melania Trump for GQ magazine caused a storm of antisemitic responses on Twitter, including a tweet calling her a “filthy Russian kike” and another that included photos from Nazi concentration camps, the study described.

I honestly didn’t realize they were out there. It’s every day, every single day.

Shapiro told the ADL that it was “amazing what’s been unleashed. I honestly didn’t realize they were out there. It’s every day, every single day.” He said that his wife and infant son had also been targeted. “When my child was born there were lots of antisemitic responses talking about cockroaches,” he said.
