Star of David in anti-Semitic Trump tweet originated on white supremacist message board

Posted by | July 3, 2016 12:12 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


Donald Trump should be more careful about where he lifts his memes from.

The meme Trump tweeted prominently featured the Star of David — a holy symbol of the Jewish religion that Nazis attempted to pervert by forcing Jews over the age of 6 to sew it onto their clothing during Hitler’s reign.

Emblazoned onto the Star of David in Trump’s meme are the words “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!”

The star lies atop a giant pile of money.

Mic discovered Sunday that Donald Trump’s Twitter account wasn’t the first place the meme appeared. The image was previously featured on /pol/ — an Internet message board for the alt-right, a digital movement of neo-Nazis, anti-Semites and white supremacists newly emboldened by the success of Trump’s rhetoric — as early as June 22, over a week before Trump’s team tweeted it.

    “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!”-Trump projects his own unanimous failures.

    Trump using something off an racist website, why am I not surprised? Whether it was Trump or someone in his camp, still should not have used it!

    Awful, just awful, especially as it comes when we mourn the death of Elie Wiesel.
    This stuff just never seems to go away, even in the face of decades of Jew-hating being so widely held in disrepute.
    I wish if it was not going away, that it at least be confined to the Right, but unfortunately Jew-haters get safe harbor on the Left, too. Just wait till the next war breaks out in the Middle East and you’ll see it….

    He’s just pandering to his base. At least we know who Trump follows on Twitter.

    The replies where Alan posted this on Twitter are absolutely disgusting.
