===Accusations of anti-Semitism==-
Due to his adamant conservatism, Fish has been an occasional target by [[leftists]] who hurl the charge that he was supposedly anti-Semitic and sympathized with bigoted [[Nazi]] ideologies.<ref>Hart, Bradley W. (December 21, 2018). [https://archive.md/iv0UP It started with Nazis: Concerns over foreign agents not just a Trump-era phenomenon]. ''Salon'' via ''archive.md''. Retrieved October 23, 2021.</ref> Although his career was embroiled in a number of controversies, including distributing the anti-Semitic publication [[Protocols of the Elders of Zion]] at one point, such occurrences are largely considered accidental and being more symbolic as opposed to evidence that he was in league with virulent anti-Semites.
