Hawley is many things but I don't know of any evidence that he's anti-Semitic.

Look back at some of the things he said around the time of Janet Yellen's confirmation hearings. In my view and that of many others, he was not-so-subtly invoking "cultural Marxism" talking points that have their roots in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

"Cultural Marxism" is not anti-Semitic.

It may not be in common parlance, but its origin is in a conspiracy theory about Jewish critical theorists destroying Western values or whatever. I can't help but feel that the Ivy League-educated Hawley would know about these implications and not describe a Jew with those terms unless he was intent on that connotation.
