Trump Tries To Spin Anti-Semitic Symbol As ‘Sheriff’s Star’

"It’s not the first time Trump’s campaign has mixed with white supremacists and anti-Semitism. He’s frequently tweeted and retweeted images and accounts made by white supremacists, and many more with ties to the alt-right. After the Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke endorsed the candidate, Trump at first failed to disavow him. He’s thrown around offensive stereotypes about Jewish people. And a number of his online supporters have become notorious for their anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish journalists, something Trump has refused to disavow. This all comes at a time when white supremacist groups are seeing a revival of support online."
