"Senator Niceley's repulsive words could not be more clear in disparaging the Jewish people. This racism cannot stand."Niceley "should be ashamed of his repeated anti-Semitic rhetoric," she went on, adding that she's "incredibly proud to call myself a part of the Jewish people."The Republican Jewish Coalition also criticized Niceley, <a href="https://twitter.com/RJC/status/1516752590578536452?s=20&amp;t=pf7HkC8UuibUbS3z7lVtww">writing on Twitter</a> that his rhetoric "reeks" of anti-Semitism."His inference that only the Jews around President Trump care about Morgan Ortagus because she's Jewish herself reveals a dark side that has no place in Republican politics," they wrote.Niceley's office didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. Strikingly, it's not the first time Niceley has faced national criticism in the last week.Last Thursday, Niceley <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tennessee-senator-hitler-life-history-books-homeless-criminalize-camping-2022-4">invoked Nazi leader Adolf Hitler</a> as an example of someone who "went on to lead a life that got him in the history books" while arguing for a bill that would criminalize camping on public property.His contention was that homeless people can lead productive lives — "or in Hitler's case, a very unproductive life," as Niceley said — after leaving homeless encampments.

Frank Niceley argued that <keyword id="12169802" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="homeless-people" source="Orion">homeless people</keyword> can "come out of these homeless camps" and lead notable lives."I wanted to give you a little history on <keyword id="11931193" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="homelessness" source="Orion">homelessness</keyword>," said Niceley. "1910, Hitler decided to live on the streets for a while. So for two years, Hitler lived on the streets and practiced his oratory, and his body language, and how to connect with citizens and then went on to lead a life that got him in the history books." "So, all these people — it's not a dead end, they can come out of this, these homeless camps, and have a productive life or in Hitler's case, a very unproductive life," Niceley went on, referring to the German leader who seized power in the 1930s before initiating World War II and carrying out the Holocaust, which resulted in the <a href="https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/documenting-numbers-of-victims-of-the-holocaust-and-nazi-persecution">systematic killing of millions of people</a>, including 6 million Jews.Hitler did experience a period of homelessness, including living in a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/apr/14/humanities.highereducation">hostel for the homeless in Vienna</a> from 1910 to 1913. A struggling artist at the time, he later said it was the "harshest and saddest" period of his life.The Tennessee bill, which was later approved by the Senate on a 22-10 vote, now heads to Republican Gov. Bill Lee's desk. It comes after the state <a href="https://www.winknews.com/2020/08/22/new-tennessee-law-penalizes-protesters-who-camp-on-state-property-with-felony-and-loss-of-voting-rights/">made camping on state property a felony offense in 2020</a>.<a href="https://newschannel9.com/news/local/tennessee-senator-cites-hitler-as-example-of-how-homeless-people-can-overcome-odds">According to News 9 in Chattanooga</a>, the bill enables local law enforcement offices to punish people who are homeless at their discretion, with the fine not being mandatory. It also allows for a citation for the first offense."It just breaks my heart that we are criminalizing people who have no where else to go," said Democratic state Sen. Brenda Gilmore, according to <keyword id="11893589" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="news" source="Orion">News</keyword> 9, adding that the bill could separate homeless individuals from their children. Nicely is no stranger to controversy. In 2009, <a href="https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/news/story/2009/feb/16/tennessee-lawmakers-join-effort-challenge-obama-ci/207884/?bcsubid=6f9b9ddb-3222-4593-9910-df42cf27844a&amp;pbdialog=reg-wall-login-created-tfp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">he and 3 other Tennessee Republican lawmakers</a> joined a legal effort to try to force President Barack Obama to turn over his birth certificate in order to prove that he was born in the US. Niceley contended at the time that some of Obama's Kenyan relatives said the president was born in that country. And in 2017, he <a href="https://subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews/1060068569" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">told E&amp;E News </a>that carbon dioxide, emissions of which are a major driver of climate change, is "not a pollutant, it's just as natural as oxygen."

Ortagus, a former TV personality who worked as a spokeswoman for the Trump administration's State Department from 2019-2021 got the boss' blessing in January to run for retiring Democratic Rep. Jim Cooper's seat. In his <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-endorse-100-candidates-republican-politics-impeachment-vengeance-2022-2">endorsement, — one of at least 100 he's made — </a>Trump described Ortagus <a href="https://www.donaldjtrump.com/news/news-xjjmp459ds1472">as "very strong and impressive</a>."Ortagus announced her candidacy a few weeks later even though she'd only moved to Tennessee within the last year and she recently demonstrated how little she knew about the area by <a href="https://tennesseestar.com/2022/02/28/morgan-ortagus-demonstrates-limited-knowledge-of-tennessees-5th-congressional-district-she-seeks-to-represent/">flubbing a district-centric quiz on local radio</a>. State Republicans are annoyed about having Trump's rubber stamp stick them with what they consider an outsider in the race. One way Tennessee Republicans are working to hamper her campaign is by throwing up procedural roadblocks to get her out of the race before the qualifying deadline of April 7, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/trump-s-pick-house-seat-morgan-ortagus-met-open-revolt-n1291407">NBC News reports</a>. A new state Senate-passed bill requiring state-wide candidates to have been a local resident for at least three years is pretty much designed to weed out Ortagus, according to <a href="https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2022/02/28/tennessee-legislation-bar-newcomers-primary-races-passes-senate/9322317002/">The Tennessean</a>, given her newcomer status. "I'll leave state matters to the state legislature," Ortagus said in a prepared statement about the local pushback, adding that she intends to remain in the fight "to defend President Trump's agenda." Trump, Tennessee <keyword id="11917127" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="gop" source="Orion">GOP</keyword> executive committee leaders, and Republican National Committee members did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the internal row.Ortagus is one of nine Republicans vying to represent the Nashville area on Capitol Hill. Cooper, a 16-term lawmaker ran unopposed in 2020. He beat GOP candidate Jody Ball by a 2-to-1 margin in 2018, garnering 68% of the vote to Ball's 32%. Frank Niceley, the Tennessee state senator who sponsored the new residency requirement bill, is backing former Tennessee House Speaker Beth Harwell for the House seat. But he wants Trump to know there are no hard feelings. "If he was endorsing a Tennessee candidate that lived here, met the qualifications the party puts out, that's one thing," Nicely told NBC. "But shipping somebody in and endorsing is a different thing."Ortagus has also been endorsed by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

A Trump endorsement is roiling Tennessee Republicans. Now they're finding new tricks to try and stop his candidate from running for a House seat.
