After a public outcry highlighted the star’s resemblance to the Star of David, Trump deleted the image.
"Donald Trump should stop playing the blame game and accept that his campaign tweeted an image with obvious anti-Semitic overtones and that, reportedly, was lifted from a white supremacist website," said ADL chairman Jonathan Greenblatt, citing claims that the image originated on an anti-Semitic internet forum.
"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."
The Trump campaign has denied that the image is anti-Semitic or originated on a white supremacist website.
"The social media graphic used this weekend was not created by the campaign nor was it sourced from an anti-Semitic site," said Trump campaign social media mainager Daniel Scavino. "It was lifted from an anti-Hillary Twitter user where countless images appear."
But on Tuesday House Speaker Paul Ryan, who endorsed Trump in June, blasted such denials, saying the image was anti-Semitic, and called upon the Trump campaign to clean up its social media campaign.
Despite his endorsement of Trump, Ryan has castigated the GOP nominee’s campaign in the past.
“Look, anti-Semitic images, they’ve got no place in a presidential campaign,” Ryan said during a radio interview with WTMJ’s Charlie Sykes.
“Candidates should know that. The tweet’s been deleted. I don’t know what flunky put this up there. They’ve obviously got to fix that".
Ryan called Trump’s tweets a distraction, and called on the campaign to focus in on policy prescriptions.
"We’ve got to get back to the issues that matter to the public."

Yup.
He needs to go.
Every time Paul Rino opens his mouth I send Paul Nehlen another ten bucks. Just sent him ten more.
Aw crap. You just gave Paul Ryno his next attack.
the stupid party being stupid again.
they are always happy to arrange a circular firing squad for the benefit of the democRATS.
i am so sick and tired of the GOP.
morons.
morons and traitors.
Good picture. Too bad Ryan is just a democrat tool at this stage. He is just acting as a Hillary functionary to weaken and defeat Trump. The GOPe would much rather work with a corrupt Hillary and enrich themselves rather than let an outsider take power.
Paul Ryan vs. Ted Cruz for 2016 !@(*# of the year.
It’s close... but Ryan might be pulling ahead.
Ryan wins,I have two words for Paulie.
This LaRaza male whore is too stupid to know Trump.’s son in law and grand kids are Jewish !
Trumps daughter converted to Judaism ! Ryan needs to be removed Now !
ding ding ding we have a winner
Emailed the idiot. told him it’s a sheriff’s badge. What a dork. Never criticise
Here’s an innuendo with far more substance than the six-pointed star kerfuffle. Ryan is a Catholic. He should prove he is not in favor of bringing back the Inquisition to torture Jews. I don’t think that is any less baseless.
To #26. It should be spelled “Leah County”. That would make it biblical Jewish and after a woman too.
no. a traitor.

I just heard Paul Ryan on TV saying that he never even saw that but he’s judging it.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Ryan is mistaken, it's not an antisemitic image, and Trump pulled it quickly and replaced it with a circle, presumably when the imagery was pointed out to him. Sorry, but it's a serious mistake. His post will be misinterpreted and misrepresented. It will cost votes. He needs to professionalize his operation. I can't imagine he trolls the internet himself for imagery, whoever does should be told to lay off the hate sites.
I don’t believe any of Trump’s wives were Jewish.
But “bloody stupid” still stands. His son-in-law Jared Kushner is an Orthodox Jew, his daugher Ivanka is a “ger” (convert), and his grandchildren by Ivanka are therefore also Jewish.
His son Eric also married a Jewish girl.
