Rosie Tisch

Model/actress Rosie Tisch, a San Diego, CA, native, had a fairly unexceptional and unextraordinary career until she became embroiled in a scandal that swept the Los Angeles-area Republican Party in 2013. Tisch "outed" her longtime financial benefactor David Cole (aka David Abravanel Stein) as an infamous (and Jewish) Holocaust revisionist, leading to international headlines in newspapers like The Guardian, websites like The Huffington Post, and TV networks like MSNBC. As Cole/Stein had been a popular GOP activist and organizer, and a member of the super-secretive Hollywood conservative group "Friends of Abe" (founded by Gary Sinise, Clint Eastwood, Jon Voight, and Kelsey Grammer), Tisch's revelations caused a great deal of embarrassment to all involved, and gave a great deal of publicity to Holocaust denial/revisionism.
