Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump criticized CNN, which he calls the “Clinton News Network,” during his campaign rally in Ohio on Wednesday for covering the alleged “Star of David” tweet more than the FBI interviewing presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton over the past weekend.
“CNN is dishonest as hell,” the presumptive nominee stated. “I have grandchildren that are Jewish…and I love them.” Trump also noted how his daughter and son-in-law are Jewish.
Trump has defended the image as a Sheriff’s star — not the Star of David, which was alleged by political pundits and the media.

I hope that this campaign keeps exposing the media for what they are. This is a good example of that.
They spend more time dealing with the alleged bigotry of something on twitter, than they do on the Hillary Clinton story.
And as we saw with the Orlando massacre, the media turned it into a story about the need for gun control. The media to this day completely ignore the fact that Orlando was the deadliest Muslim terrorist attack in America since 9/11.
Sheeesh.... when I first saw it, I never thought it was a Sheriff’s star and certainly didn’t think it was a Star of David which has it’s own unique configuration. I just thought it was a piece of clip-art that I’d seen endless times before on sales flyers that seem to stuff my mailbox. So do those all have an anti-Semitic undertone to them too? Good grief.... CNN has really jumped the shark on this one.
” Mr. Trump, we know the media is biased. We know Clinton is a liar. Give us a reason to vote for you aside from the fact that Clinton’s are scum. “
A made up question, but is that a reasonable question, even for those of us who will vote for Trump?
Hillary can’t be trusted. The media can’t be trusted. Can’t be said enough times. I’m glad Trump isn’t too nice to say it.
Go to the Trump Organization website. I think you can find something there to give you a reason to vote for Trump. It really isn't that hard to research.
Also, you might read his position papers. They are an easy read.
Yes it is a reasonable question.
A presidential candidate should give us positive reasons to vote for him. There should be policy discussions, and discussions of what he will do as president.
The Clintons are horses (blank) and should not be back in the White House. But there should be a positive agenda put forth, as a reason to elect Trump.
Also this: Trump Asks Son-in-Law, Jared Kushner, to Plan for Transition Team.
This man knows how to fight. He puts them (CNN) on the defensive by deliberately describing them as biased in a cutesy amusing fashion which will resonate with the public.
Because it is amusing, the accusation will get repeated by word of mouth far beyond their ability to counter it.
And *THAT*, ladies and gentlemen, is how it's done.
Trump has given plenty of reasons to vote for him. This is obvious to anyone paying attention.
Res ipsa loquitur. The thing speaks for itself.
You want a Nazi Despot running things? Wote for Clinton.
The media won’t report the facts about Hillary. Someone has to, and what better person to be the reporter than Trump? If the Republican nominee says something, that’s a wonderful megaphone. The media cannot ignore it. They can spin it, but they can’t suppress it.
GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!
While I applaud Trump for lambasting CNN, I hope it does not come back to bite him because CNN actually provided the best live coverage of his rallies in Raleigh and Cincinnati!!!
On Tuesday, CSPAN has technical difficulties and didn’t show the Raleigh rally until several hours later.
Last night, CSPAN was mandated to stick with gavel-to-gavel coverage of the lengthy House session as well as other Senate matters on CSPAN 2—and again did not air Trump until after 2AM!!!
Fox rarely preempts O’Reilly and therefore cuts off Trump at that point—and MSNBC literally sucks!!
Moreover, last night, Wayne DuPree discussed with one of the RSBN technicians about how there has been some apparent hacking/interference on their video at recent Trump rallies!! Three guesses as to who may be responsible!!
Again, while I love Trump taking CNN to task over their bias, I fear that they will retaliate and deny future live coverage in the critical months ahead!!!
Yes, Trump needs to stay focused on HIS agenda. We’ve certainly heard enough outrage over the FBI findings.
