Donald Trump was criticized Saturday for combining a popular Jewish symbol with an attack on Hillary Clinton, who is, apparently, the “Most corrupt candidate ever!” which is a tall order indeed, considering who has run for the highest post in the land over the centuries. Still, the image featured a six-pointed star, or, let’s have the courage to say it, a Star of David, against a background of heaps of cash which, if we didn’t know better, would have brought to mind some classic anti-Semitic imageries.
The rebukes arrived on schedule, with leftwing columnist Ana Marie Cox tweeting that the “Symbolism here is pretty… unsubtle.”
The Trump campaign did not release a statement to explain the offensive tweeted image, but shortly thereafter released an almost identical image with a circle where the Jewish symbol used to be. So now it’s time for circle Americans to take offense.
