Hillary Clinton's campaign says Trump's 'anti-Semitic' tweet 'sends signals' to extremists
"Donald Trump's use of a blatantly anti-Semitic image from racist websites to promote his campaign would be disturbing enough, but the fact that it's part of a pattern should give voters major cause for concern," the statement from Hillary for America's Director of Jewish Outreach, Sarah Bard, read.
The tweet contained an image of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee with a badge next to it that read "Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!"
It was summarily denounced because of the badge's resemblance to the Star of David, which appears on Israel's flag and which Jews were forced to wear on their clothing by the Nazis during the Holocaust. The image apparently originated from a neo-Nazi website, according to NBC News.
The original tweet was deleted from Trump's account, and a modified version was sent out instead, replacing the Jewish symbol with a circle instead. In a follow-up tweet, Trump criticized "dishonest media" for not interpreting the symbol as a "sheriff's star, or plain star."
