Trump says six-pointed star in anti-Clinton ad not a Star of David
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePresidential candidate Donald Trump hits back at the media for stories saying that a recent tweet of his was anti-Semitic.
He says the tweet, a picture of an attack ad against his opponent Hilary Clinton that included an image of a six-pointed star, was not invoking a Star of David, as critics claimed, but rather a sheriff’s badge.
“Dishonest media is trying their absolute best to depict a star in a tweet as the Star of David rather than a Sheriff’s Star, or plain star!,” he tweets.

A report Sunday traced the image in his original tweet to a white supremacist message board.
