Donald Trump has a theory as to why the media were so obsessed with his recent anti-Hillary tweet that featured a star pundits say resembled the star of David.
They are focusing on the tweet to "get off FBI news" regarding Hillary's emails, Trump insisted at a rally in Cincinnati, Ohio on Wednesday night.
It was an anti-Semitic message, many media figures insisted. Trump pushed back at that assumption, noting he has Jewish family members he loves and admires. If anything, the star looked more like a sheriff's badge than the star of David, he said.
Trump then sounded off on outlets like CNN for wasting coverage on the non-scandal.
"These are sick people," he said.
Unlike the media, Trump put Clinton's email scandal in the spotlight at his rally, spending several minutes reading all of the former secretary of state's false statements.
"She has got bad judgment," he said, while also offering her a new nickname - "dirty, rotten liar."
I’m sure that veterans of the US Army 6th Infantry Division will be surprised to learn that they are anti-Semites since the 6th Infantry shoulder patch was a bright red six-pointed star.
He isn’t FOCUSING on the star issue, he is responding to it just as HE SHOULD. No death by a thousand cuts for Trump like they did to Bush & Palin.
OR maybe it is just a STAR?
Just watch, Disney will change this star to a five point maybe even RECALL all items using the “antisemitic” star of David.
Looks like he hit on all three equally according to the article, not bad. I have no idea what your problem is here.
I didn't realize that the twitter posting flap was the more important issue.
Somebody said or implied that? The intellectual disconnect is unusual. What's with that?
Trump does not help himself by diverting away himself to praise about Saddam and tweeting images from Frozen.
Stay on message about how corrupt the Clintons are.
Trump’s dead on right and I knew it at the time.
The Bolshevik shill woman on Fox - Julie Roginsky - literally foamed at the mouth about this non-event.
All carefully timed to take the focus off of the Crooked Queen.
So Don’s got them calibrated. And he isn’t backing down. Screw you, scum. That’s what he’s saying.
Little note: the same is happening here in California after the attacks on Trump supporters by violent immigrant aliens: the big talk is about a white judge who gave a light sentence to a white kid from Ohio going to Stanford in a date rape case. There is virtually no mention of what happened in San Jose at Trump’s rally, although four of the thugs were arrested on felony charges.
Do we hear of Lynch’s DoJ bringing civil rights charges against them? Anguish in the press over what they did, calls for the Mayor and the Puerto Rican police chief of San Jose to resign?
Silence.
As planned.
The Enemedia is part of the Conspiracy: the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy that is now headed by Hillary Rodham Clinton.
You’re being obtuse, to the point of trolling. You mention Twitter, then actually read Trumps twitter feed. Far far more tweets about FBI/Hillary than the star flap.
Stop trolling and ger your facts right before whining
Out here in flyover country they are loathed and hated with a white-hot seething hatred.
We don't like them that much.
Same kind of shiny object distractions the media did in 2012 against Romney whenever they wanted to change the subject.
Clinton sycophants are already claiming she won the email battle.
Their nuancing and parsing, the typical Clintonian word games, elevated her to a status with BJ on being able to lie and get away with it.
I wish they would give him talking points...he mentioned the star over and over, say it, move on. I’m going to vote for this guy, but his handlers need to teach him a little PowerPoint type speaking style, he can’t complete a sentence.
This is a good way of handling this. Attacking the Obama Clinton democrats. I just hope the Trump campaign doesn’t divert from this tactic and respond in a personal way which is his tendency. The Obama Clinton democrats are going to be throwing all kinds of krap at this guy trying to equate what he’s done (shoddy business practices) as worse than the treaterous treasonous corrupt democrats.
Which is one of the many reasons from the outset I did not favor Trump’s candidacy because supporters unnecessarily would have to run around comming up with excuses to defend him.
You beat me to it. Every smear has to be answered and attacked. If not it becomes the truth, just ask Romney about Harry Reid and the tax issue!!
Nice ! I just saw that tweet and was going to post.
Elsa and Anna are very Jewish, obviously.
