Guessing, in protest, of the fact that Harriet Tubman-Davis is going to be placed on the $20 bill?

Trump ally Michael Flynn sorry for retweet of antisemitic message

Associations of antisemitism returned to shadow Donald Trump’s presidential campaign on Sunday, after the Republican and his allies, including a three-star general who was a vice-presidential hopeful, were forced again to answer questions about supporters with explicitly bigoted views.

The pseudonymous Trump supporter tweeted: “CNN implicated. ‘The USSR is to blame!’ Not anymore, Jews. Not anymore.”
The retired general deleted his retweet and later said “the earlier retweet was a mistake” and that he had meant to link to an article on Clinton and the DNC emails. “My sincerest apologies,” he added.
