You know, on this forum when a poster gets caught posting sources from neo-nazi blogs or forums, we usually give them the benefit of the doubt. We ask them where they got it from. How they got it. Hell, we even point out to them why these sources can't be trusted. That said, you'd think somebody like Trump, who has zero political experience, but is practically known for putting his name on everything from fraudulent diploma mills to water bottle companies would be a little more careful about his image. Then again, this is nothing new. Whomever manages Trump's account -- seems to like pulling images from neo-nazi propaganda accounts.
I wonder how his congregation will react to this? Simple oversight? Hacked account? Nothing to see here?
So many ways to avoid what is plainly obvious.
[FONT="]Donald Trump supporters say [/FONT]the firestorm over a tweet that featured the Star of David next to raining money and Hillary Clinton[FONT="] was driven by the media’s political correctness.
[/FONT][FONT="]But the image — which critics called anti-Semitic — appears to have been taken from an online neo-Nazi message board.[/FONT]
[FONT="]According to Mic.com, the graphic tweeted by the presumptive Republican nominee on Saturday was previously featured on a message board for the alt-right, “a digital movement of neo-Nazis, anti-Semites, and white supremacists.”[/FONT]
[FONT="]The website reported that the image appeared on the message board — called “/pol/” — as early as June 22, over a week before it was published on Trump’s Twitter feed.[/FONT]
