"Is this an autobiography?" wrote David Friedman, former U.S. ambassador to Israel.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who frequently self-identifies as the highest-ranking elected Jewish official in U.S. history and claims that his family name refers to being the Jewish people’s “guardian,” is slated to publish a book titled Antisemitism in America: A Warning next February.
Grand Central Publishing, a Hachette Book Group division, lists Feb. 18 as the publication date for the 224-page book, which sells for $28 in hardcover. It calls the book “urgent and personal,” and states that Schumer “sheds light on the Jewish American experience and sounds the alarm about the troubling resurgence of antisemitism.”
The announcement drew ridicule from some of those who have criticized Schumer in the past.
