Donald Trump Tweets Neo-Nazi Message Board Imagery then Deleted it!
Saturday July 3rd, Donald Trump deleted a tweet!
The image was critical of Hillary Clinton but aside from that it appeared to evoke anti-Semitic stereotypes; the graphic included dollar bills and a six-pointed star. 10 days prior, that exact graphic appeared on an Internet message board loaded with anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and neo-Nazi ideology.The image rightfully drew scorn from the national leader of the Anti-Defamation League and others .
Before deleting the original tweet, Trump tweeted the same graphic with a tweak: a circle instead of the star {as indicated in the photo on the right above} which in the opinion of many shows guilt. Why the amendments if you’ve done nothing wrong?
CNN is reporting that Trump’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment about the decision to use a six-pointed star and whether they were concerned about the potential for the imagery to evoke anti-Semitic undertones. He said it’s “the same star that sheriffs’ departments all over the place” use for their badges.
Trump’s action is by no means surprising. He’s committed countless similar acts. Remember David Duke – KKK extraordinaire? What’s surprising is that the US government has nothing in place, in terms of mechanism that forbids a Nominee of a National Party from verbally harassing, abusing and bullying the citizens of the country. Such individual should not be protected by any amendment!
