Rossum, who openly supported Hillary Clinton and identifies as Jewish, is opening up about the anti-Semitic comments she’s been dealing with. Some of the tweets directed at Rossum proclaim “Sieg Heil”and other contain threats to send her to the gas chamber. Rossum, however, stands tall against the blatant Holocaust symbolism and references. One of the tweets directed at her included a photo of a concentration camp with the words “TRUMP” on the wall.

As unfortunate and sickening as Rossum’s anti-Semitic attacks are, these incidents are hardly isolated. Although anti-Semitic Trump supporters targeted Rossum for her religion, she refused to let the incident weigh her down. Hopefully her mentality and strength inspires others who face similar harassment to do the same. > [](https://twitter.com/emmyrossum/status/797959477618089984) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4571226/emmy-rossum-anti-semitic-tweets/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4571226/emmy-rossum-anti-semitic-tweets/"},"headline":"Emmy Rossum Receives Anti-Semitic Comments Following Donald Trump’s Win","datePublished":"2016-11-15T17:00:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:03:52.029Z","description":"But the 'Shameless' star isn’t backing down","url":"https://time.com/4571226/emmy-rossum-anti-semitic-tweets/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf9f74022eeb07f5a/6988ae882dce0115849eb6e8/emmy-rossum-anti-semitic-tweets-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf9f74022eeb07f5a/6988ae882dce0115849eb6e8/emmy-rossum-anti-semitic-tweets-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"HBO's Post Emmy Awards Reception - Arrivals","caption":"HBO's Post Emmy Awards Reception - Arrivals","creditText":"Michael Tran—FilmMagic/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4571226/emmy-rossum-anti-semitic-tweets/","name":"Emmy Rossum Receives Anti-Semitic Comments Following Donald Trump’s Win"}}]}] ```
