President Donald Trump has appointed Sigalit “Siggy” Flicker, a former cast member of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and a vocal supporter of his administration, to the Holocaust Memorial Council. Flicker, whose stepson was charged in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, is part of a new cohort of Trump-loyal board members replacing Biden-era appointees—including former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, whom Trump fired in April. She thanked Trump for the appointment Tuesday, writing on X, “President Trump … Thank you for the privilege & honor to represent and NEVER FORGET“ alongside American and Israeli flag emojis. Flicker appeared on the seventh and eighth seasons of Bravo’s reality-TV series and is now a podcaster. The granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, she was born in Israel to Jewish parents and grew up in New Jersey. She is an outspoken supporter of Israel and the country’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and is vehemently opposed to the establishment of a Palestinian state, according to The Washington Post. During the Jan. 6 riot, Flicker publicly supported her stepson, Tyler Campanella, who was allegedly part of the mob that stormed the Capitol and posted the hashtag #StoptheSteal, according to an FBI affidavit. Campanella’s case was dismissed after Trump pardoned individuals convicted or facing charges related to the riot.
