Trump: No message to ‘fans’ who swamped reporter with anti-Semitic abuse
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDonald Trump says he has no message for his “fans” who deluged a reporter with anti-Semitic comments after she wrote a critical profile of his wife.
“You’ll have to talk to them about it,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee tells CNN of the abusive phone calls, emails and social media posts received by Julia Ioffe after her story appears in GQ.
“I don’t have a message to the fans, a woman wrote an article that was inaccurate,” he says. Trump says he has not read the article but heard it is nasty.”
The real estate magnate’s daughter and son-in-law are Orthodox Jews. Trump has previously come under criticism for his apparent reluctance to reject an endorsement from former KKK leader David Duke.
