Also, unbelievably stupid. She’s a Methodist!
Clinton’s camp is correct in stating that Trump’s blatant anti-Semitic comments are very disturbing, especially when his very own grandchildren are Jewish! How is Ivanka deal with this turmoil?
The implication is that she is owned by “Jewish” money. I can see you’re not up to date on anti-Semitic memes. Good for you (really).
it’s a part of a pattern
HRC goes to the dirty nougat center of Trump’s hate candy…
Someone on another message board said that the fact that Trump’s grandchild was Jewish just proves that he’s not anti-Semitic since that would just be sick.
My response: “And your point is?”
Trump: “T(h)is (h)as been misconstrued. T(h)ere was no attempt to associate Crooked (H)illary with a Star of David. It’s just a s(h)eriff’s star, (h)onest!”
Haha. Wow. That makes so much more sense, thank you. I was thinking there was some kind of implication that she’s “secretly Jewish” like Pres. Obama is “secretly Muslim.”
Guess I need to study my white supremacy memes. Actually, I’m white and bald…probably not a good idea.
It’s a neo Nazi whisper campaign and it will only get worse from here – Obama is a secret Muslim anyone.
Lewindoowski: “The bottom line is this is political correctness run amok. If this were to be a star next to Hillary Clinton without the cash behind it, no one would be questioning this,” Lewandowski said.
Falling into a defensive position is just natural, get used to it Corey. May I suggest an English course, first.
Oh, never mind. it’s CNN.
Republican response: “Israel is only 850 miles from Benghazi!”
What’s up with the parentheticals? I see those all over twitter. For example, I follow Harry Enten (he’s from 538.com) and it says (((Harry Enten)))
I heard this was some kind of anti-semitic thing, but I don’t get it.
It just confirms that Trump’s “poorly educated voters”, haven’t a clue to what bigotry is! Could it be that they are indeed the bigots?
Shrewd move, Racist Donald, and the brilliant part is to keep talking about it without ever apologizing. Please proceed.
Personally, I think that tweet was more a sign of Trump’s stupid and incompetent management skills than of any anti-semitism on his part. It’s possible that the person who designed that image was anti-semitic, or maybe the symbolism was accidental (a six pointed star is also a sheriff’s badge). Either way, no one at the top of Trump’s campaign caught it in time, which shows how stupid they are. Also, this charge will stick to him whether it’s accurate or not because Trump himself has gone so far out of his way to court racism.
the fact that Trump’s grandchild was Jewish just proves that he’s not anti-Semitic since that would just be sick.
Yeah, no way would Trump be that creepy.
“If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
It’s two-fold. I’m not a twitter user, but apparently Jewish sounding names trigger parenthetic wrapping. Also, on some racist message boards, embedding double H’s is a way of “portmanteauing” Heil Hitler.
Those kinds of responses (“But what about his grandchildren?”) show how easy it is for Trump to get away with his bullshit. Obviously he doesn’t actually believe 95% of the stuff he says (does anyone really imagine he bought into the birther stuff?). He is cynical and sociopathically self-concerned and will use whatever tools are available to advance his own interests. That arguably makes him more dangerous than an ordinary run-of-the mill racist/anti-Semite.
So is the implication that somewhere Trump has a grandchild who is Mexican?
Trump got used to the teflon treatment in the primaries, running against a crowd of lightweight numbskulls. Don’t be so surprised when racist bullshit sticks to you like glue from now on, Birther Donald.
