THREAD:
In early 2017 I looked at reasons Jews were fearful that Trump attracted some prominent anti-Semites & white nationalists during his 2016 campaign:
Here they are:
--Campaign slogan, “America First" also name of an org tied to anti-Semites urging appeasement of Hitler.
--Repeated failure — with 4 diff. attempts — during CNN intervu to condemn former KKK leader David Duke. Later he said ‘disavow’ on Twitter.
--According to the Anti-Defamation League, Twitter users had viewed language associated with anti-Semitism more than 10 billion times in 2016, the social media equivalent of a $20 million Super Bowl ad
-- Trump was asked twice on separate occasions about rising anti-Semitism, including by a Jewish reporter in a press conference. He responded by shouting down the reporter and insisting he is “the least anti-Semitic person that you’ve ever seen in your entire life.”
--Trump came under fire for White House statement on Int. Holocaust Memorial Day that failed to mention the Jewish faith of the millions of “innocent people” who were killed and the anti-Semitism that led to their slaughter. It was a break with the tradition of past presidents.
--In a December 2015 speech before the Republican Jewish Coalition, Trump said: “And I know why you’re not going to support me. You’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money. Isn’t it crazy?”
--In early July, Trump posted on Twitter an image of the Star of David shape next to a picture of Clinton atop a pile of money, calling her the “most corrupt candidate ever.”
--Trump was criticized for closing out his campaign with an ad denouncing an international global power structure that featured a number of prominent Jews in the financial industry, including Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein.
