Discussion: Trump Foreign Policy Advisor Posts Anti-Semitic Tweet

Flynn, who spoke at the Republican National Convention last week, deleted the Tweet and issued an apology hours after posting it, saying it was “a mistake” and that he only meant to share the CNN video.

That’s okay. We understand that you couldn’t help yourself, any more than a dog can keep from licking his nuts.

This is a “mistake” that Trump and his surrogates seem to make a lot.

Wow! I don’t recall seeing anything so blatantly Nazi-like from anyone in a similar position.
This mistake does illustrate a point that I was thinking about.
Clinton’s camp is mostly made up of people with a lot of campaign experience. They know the dumb errors to avoid, and generally they understand the number one rule: don’t be impulsive!
Trump’s campaign is just the opposite. Maybe the right thing for Clinton is to mix it up with Trump; show that she can handle what he gives and dish out just as hard.
His people will break, in the sense of making a rash of unforced errors.
If it’s July 25 and we have a guy sounding like a Wannsee fan, things will only get worse for Trump.

Granted, I’m not up on my neo-rascist conspiratorial rantings, but that comment doesn’t even make any sense to me–and why wouldn’t he have the sense not to say it? I don’t intend to make excuses for the guy, but is it possible that it is an auto-correct error?

Trump’s Republican party = the resurgence of the white supremacist KKK Party of the 1940’s and 50’s.

Trump and his circle…far more extreme than George Wallace in his racist (anti-semitic, anti-hispanic, anti-indian, anti-black, anti-chinese, anti-immigration).

Trump = Hitler and Putin

A three-star idiot to go with a no-star candidate.

OK, I’ll bite. What would make sense in that tweet that would autocorrect to “Jews”? Show your work, please.

If you make enough mistakes, it gets to be known as your style.

Who can doubt that the racist malignant Trump campaign is racist?

Wow, that is SO totally out of character for a Trump adviser. Just like it would be for a Hitler adviser.

Saw this guy interviewed by Bill Maher. He came across as being a big douchebag.

This guy was on Trumper’s short list for VP, right?

When racism is “mainstream”, anti semitism isn’t far behind.

But a DNC staffer pointing out that an atheist is toxic politically in WV and KY means that somehow DWS and the DNC are anti-Semitic of course. So therefore let’s elect Trump!

“…it was “a mistake” and that he only meant to…”

More evidence of why you were fired. How you got one star, not to mention the three you wound up with, is beyond me.

Yeah, mistake, that’s the ticket

Can someone explain the “Not anymore, Jews.” part of that?

Not anymore what?

" … Not anymore, Jews. Not anymore." (Asshat Michael Flynn)

What the hell does that even mean? Is he implying that Hillary’s camp previously implied that Jews were sabotaging us but now blaming the Russians (because, you know, they hacked us!!)? These people can’t make sense if they tried, amirite?
