Donald Trump and allies forced to answer questions about antisemitism
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.
On Saturday, Trump hinted that he would consider Flynn for secretary of defense, although he is ineligible under federal law, which requires candidates to have spent at least seven years out of active service.

I hope my people can figure it out as well as the African Americans have. We need trump to get 3% or less of the Jewish vote.
