“Surely there are prominent pro-life Jewish leaders in the Chicago area? Also, what if, theoretically, it were discovered that Mr. Sacks had given money to a pro-MAGA group? Would the antisemitic card still be used?”

Olson added further commentary on X questioning whether pro-life Jewish leaders were available and whether Cupich's reasoning would hold if Sacks had donated to a pro-MAGA group.

“A pro-abortion billionaire is being given a prominent award by the @archchicago because he's ‘well-respected’ in Chicago and the Jewish community. In defending the choice, @CardinalBCupich plays the antisemitic card, saying, ‘Refusing to honor or engage with Jews solely because they hold conflicting religious or political positions can risk mimicking historic patterns of antisemitism through exclusion and bigotry, which, frighteningly, is on the rise.’”
