The date falls on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 Nazi attacks on Jewish communities. CNN reports that state and local leaders have condemned the planned ride as antisemitic. CNN also reports that Attorney General Dave Sunday has called it deeply unsettling. Jewish organizations called it “Jew-Hatred, plain and simple,” according to Fox News.
