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

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.’

Flicker’s appointment came just more than a year after her son Tyler Campanella was arrested in connection with on five misdemeanor charges in connection with the January 6, 2021 attacks on the U.S. Capitol.

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 photos 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.’

No evidence exists that Flicker herself was at the Caption the day of the attacks, which led to the deaths of seven people, according to a bipartisan Senate report cited in The New York Times in October of 2022.

Flicker denied being in Washington D.C. during the timeframe of the attacks in a January 13, 2021 video she put on her Instagram account, urging followers not to ‘believe all the bulls**t that’s out there.

She said, ‘I’m getting fake news alerts again! Supposedly they’re saying that I was at the Capitol on January 6 for the rally. Not me. But the girl who, I don’t know what picture’s circulating around, she better be pretty.’

Flicker continued in the clip, ‘I’ve been in Florida since December 3rd. Headed back to Jersey soon. Hey, but you know what I have to say? Just keep me relevant, that’s all I have to say!’
