Donald Trump Tweets Blatantly Anti-Semitic Post About Hillary Clinton
“Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” declared Donald Trump’s official Twitter feed early on Saturday morning, with a picture of Hillary Clinton, a heaped pile of money and a large red, six-pointed Star of David.
He later took it down (to replace the star with a circle) but made no apology for the offence he had caused. News sources touted the blatant anti-Semitism of the tweet. Esquire also noted its poor design quality, the Verge said that it was up for two hours before it was taken down and the New York Daily News noted a tweeted response from Michael Skolnick:
Classic @realDonaldTrump. First appease anti-Semitic white supremacists, then pretend it never happened.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
