President Trump appoints Real Housewives star to Holocaust Memorial board after he fired Biden-era members

Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Sigalit ‘Siggy’ Flicker has been appointed to the Holocaust Memorial Council by President Donald Trump. 

The president announced the appointment of the Bravo alum and four others via his Truth Social platform Tuesday: ‘They are all strong supporters of Israel, and will ensure we NEVER FORGET. Congratulations to all!’

Flicker, 57, said in a tweet Tuesday: ‘President Trump… Thank you for the privilege & honor to represent and NEVER FORGET.’ (She added emojis of the American and Israeli flags to the social media correspondence with the commander in chief.)

The five new members replace Biden-era appointees on the council whose employment Trump terminated April 29. 

Following Trump’s win over Democratic challenger Kamala Harris last fall, Flicker told Dailymail.com exclusively that she felt Bravo producers had punished her for her political leanings. 

‘My first season was great, they presented me as I am – emotional but loving and very into relationships,’ Flicker said November 8. ‘Then, in my second season, they had learned that I voted for Trump in the 2016 election and the producers hated it.’

Campanella, according to court documented reviewed by NBC News , was taken into custody in New York City more than three years after the group effort to overturn 2020 presidential election results in which President Joe Biden defeated incumbent Donald Trump.

Campanella had been seen in social media pH๏τos Flicker, 56, had posted to her social media pages, according to an FBI affidavit.

She captioned one image, ‘I love patriots so much. Stay safe Tyler. We love you.’

Flicker also posted the hashtag #StoptheSteal and emojis on her posts, the FBI said.

Campanella’s phone was inside of the U.S. Capitol on the day of the attacks, according to the FBI, which cited phone records it had subpoenaed in their probe.

The account linked to the phone was with an auto dealership called Bayside Chrysler, which employed Campanella in its sales department, according to the FBI.

According to NBC News, footage culled from inside of the Capitol during the melee ‘appears to show the man federal authorities identified as Campanella entering then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s suite, and even walking into the room where Pelosi’s laptop was stolen.’
