Ironically, Keyak had previously expressed his fear for wearing a Kippah under President Trump and seemingly attributed that fear to the Trump administration. Keyak wrote in a tweet in October 2020 that “as a Jew in the US under Trump, I constantly have to look over my shoulder to see how people are looking at my yarmulke. ”

Keyak was exposed on his fears by Jeremy Rovinsky who questioned whether the same person who had expressed his fears under Trump was now stating the same under Biden.
