Twitter trashes Trump over anti-Semitic tweet: 'Remember when Hitler made 6 million Jews sheriffs?'
July 04, 2016
On Saturday, GOP candidate Donald Trump tweeted an image that has been widely condemned as anti-Semitic -- an image of Hillary Clinton and a Star of David, with $100 billsĀ in the background.
Trump's team had mined the image from a racist and anti-Semitic message board, Mic reported. A watermark on the image lead to a Twitter account known for violent, racist memes. Trump deleted the tweet and has been trying to fend off criticism by saying it was not a Star of David in the image.
Social media users were not amused by Trump's explanation.
