(46,377 posts)On CNN, Lewandowski Defends Antisemitic Meme Sourced To Neo-Nazi Site
Trump's camp came out after a few hours claiming it was really just like if they had used a sheriff star and that we were being way too sensitive, delicate flowers that we are. Here is a sheriff's star:
And oops...a huge development overnight...one that shows just how incredibly inept, clumsy and stupid the Trump campaign and their marketing team is....the true original source for the ad was discovered by Esquire. And it is bad. Like, really, shocking, worse than most of us in the media expected.
Turns out the ad was a meme taken from a alt right Internet message board. It was apparently created on June 22nd.

Esquire reports that the message board is a "digital movement of neo-Nazis, anti-Semites, and white supremacists newly emboldened by the success of Donald Trump's rhetoric."

Bit of a stretch, but ok.

(46,377 posts)These anti-Semitic pictures keep popping up on the Facebook and Twitter of right-wingers.
Ted Nugent had one tying "Jew money" to New York politicians who are "anti-gun."
Including one who is from "Jew York City" and another who sent money to "Jews in East Europe" supposedly.
As to the 6-pointed star on top of lots of money, you figure it out after viewing this Nazi Germany propaganda picture.

(24,303 posts)Lewandowski, former campaign manager/bully/bodyguard for Trump. the tiny fingered, Cheeto-faced, ferret wearing shitgibbon, was on CNN today with Brianna Keilar offering his highly intelligent thought provoking, well presented case as to why this was not a totally antisemitic post. Kidding. He sounded...like a Trump surrogate.
LEWANDOWSKI: A tweet is a simple tweet. You can read into things that aren't there. You know, this is a simple star.
KEILAR: Are you saying that...wait wait wait, wait wait wait...you are saying that is a simple star, a simple star that you would expect, you would give a child a sticker, would have five points, not six. You are saying that people are reading too much into this?
LEWANDOWSKI: It is a star that sheriff's departments across the country use all over the place to represent law enforcement. To read into something that isn't there...is main stream media trying to attack Donald Trump...
KEILAR: If there is nothing there, Corey, then why did they pull it?...replace it with a circle?
LEWANDOWSKI: This is political correctness run amok
