Donald Trump used an antisemitic slur Monday in defending Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., after an article said he sued hundreds of patients over unpaid debts when he was a practicing physician.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Kansas, Trump said the reporting made Marshall, who is not Jewish, out to be "some kind of a shylock-type guy," using a term widely recognized as offensive toward Jewish people.
"Shylock" is a Jewish character in William Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice" sometimes called a usurer. The Anti-Defamation League, in a guide for educators teaching the play, says, "Shylock, and by extension, all Jews, are presented as money-hungry, conniving, and cruel."

Trump uses antisemitic slur in defending Sen. Roger Marshall at rally in Kansas
Trump had used the term during a speech last year, leading to backlash. He said at the time that he wasn’t aware of the word’s antisemitic connotations.
