Vandals broke into the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, a fraternity that has a large Jewish membership, at George Washington University in Washington, DC and destroyed a Jewish torah scroll, an item sacred to Jewish people, by tearing it apart and covering it in detergent.
According to a statement from the fraternity, they are working with university officials and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in investigating the incident and said, “Our entire chapter is outraged and saddened by this blatant act of antisemitism and violence against our brothers.” The destruction took place on Saturday night and was discovered Sunday morning. Chris Osborne, the chapter president, told CNN in an interview, “We believe it was an act of antisemitism. There was a Christian Bible and a Jewish Torah in the room, and only the Jewish Torah was vandalized. I believe it was a hate crime.” Thomas LeBlanc, George Washington University president, said in a statement that he was “…appalled by the antisemitic vandalism that occurred at the TKE fraternity house, especially the desecration of the Torah scrolls.” LeBlanc added that the university police and DC police are working together in the investigation of the incident.
LeBlanc stated, “I want to be clear: I condemn all such acts of antisemitism and all forms of hatred, discrimination, and bias in our community. Any act of antisemitism is an attack on the entire GW community and cannot, and will not, be tolerated.”
ADL’s local branch tweeted out a picture of the destroyed torah scroll and said they were “…very disturbed to learn about this hateful incident that took place overnight at the TKE fraternity house on GWU’s campus.” Very disturbed to learn about this hateful incident that took place overnight at the TKE fraternity house on GWU’s campus.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
