“It’s long past time for Trump to unequivocally reject the hate-filled extremists orbiting around his campaign and take a stand against anti-Semitism, bigotry, and hate”, Greenblatt said in a statement. “But most importantly, as you know, one of the few times I spoke out against him during the primary very forcefully was in this area, when he failed to disavow supremacists, white supremacists”.

Donald Trump is blaming the press for the fuss over an anti-Hillary Clinton tweet that appeared to depict the Star of David atop a pile of cash.
Trump’s tweet drew condemnation over the weekend from the Anti-Defamation League, which described it as part of a troubling pattern. And why would he give Hillary, “the most corrupt candidate ever”, the role of sheriff?
Critics said the graphic evoked anti-Semitic imagery. “It’s a Jewish star”. Gallup mentioned that polls’ ratings weren’t too credible in the past because people were not ready to express their true opinion about candidates. “To me there is no other answer for that than it’s anti-Semitic”.
He didn’t discuss where his campaign obtained the image, who posted it under his name and why the original was deleted then reposted. Trump earned the support of 33 percent of independents, while Clinton picked up the support of 32 percent of independents, and 35 percent of independents were undecided. The image had been posted on June 22, well before Trump tweeted it.
Before entering politics, Deutch was active in Jewish philanthropic efforts and in pro-Israel activities.
White supremacists have delivered a groundswell of support for Trump, and the billionaire real estate mogul has taken flack for retweeting tweets from neo-Nazi accounts.
“For those who were outside today, and they felt a strong wind, that was the sigh of relief coming from Hillary Clinton and her campaign staff”, said Washburn Political Science professor Bob Beatty. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood, said the use of the image needs to be viewed in context.
Trump’s own statement called the accusations “ridiculous”. “Ah, I don’t know what I said! And so look, I’ve made this really, really clear”.
Last month, Ryan publicly slammed Trump over his claim that a USA -born judge of Mexican descent was not qualified to preside over a Trump University court case.

“During the day, I’m in the office, I just shout it out to one of the young ladies who are tremendous”, he said during the appearance.
