Trump Appoints "Real Housewives" Star to Holocaust Memorial Council
In a move that's generating buzz, former "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Sigalit "Siggy" Flicker has been appointed to the Holocaust Memorial Council by former President Donald Trump. Trump announced the appointment on his Truth Social platform, alongside four other individuals, emphasizing their strong support for Israel. Flicker, known for her appearances on seasons seven and eight of the Bravo reality show, expressed her gratitude on social media, highlighting the honor of representing and remembering.
This appointment comes after Trump terminated the employment of Biden-era appointees on the council. Flicker's selection has drawn attention, especially given her vocal support for Trump and her son's involvement in the January 6th Capitol attacks. Court documents reveal that Flicker's son, Tyler Campanella, was arrested in connection with the events of January 6, 2021. Campanella's phone was reportedly inside the U.S. Capitol on that day, and he was allegedly seen in footage entering then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi's suite.
Flicker herself has been a staunch Trump supporter, often using the hashtag #MAGA on her Instagram, where she has over 644,000 followers. She has also posted photos with Trump and other prominent figures in his orbit. While Flicker denies being present at the Capitol on January 6th, the appointment has sparked discussion given the context of her son's involvement and her strong political affiliations. This appointment highlights the intersection of politics, celebrity, and historical remembrance.
