Micheal Flynn, Trump Foreign Policy Advisor, Retweets Anti-Semitic Post

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-advisor-michael-flynn-anti-semitic-tweet

One of Donald Trump’s senior foreign policy advisors has apologized for sharing a blatantly anti-Semitic post on Twitter over the weekend.

Retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn on Sunday responded to the claim made by Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook that Russian intelligence agencies were behind the Democratic National Committee hack that exposed tens of thousands of staffers’ emails.

“The corrupt Democratic machine will do and say anything to get #NeverHillary into power. This is a new low,” Flynn tweeted, sharing a link to a tweet from user Saint Bibiana who wrote “Cnn implicated. ‘The USSR is to blame!’ … Not anymore, Jews. Not anymore.”

The user’s tweet linked to a CNN Politics clip of Mook’s comments.


"The USSR" from a foreign policy advisor... man, that's just sad.

Now he's a Trump advisor.

But nothing to see here, as I've been told by some today.
