Donald Trump Draws Criticism of Anti-Semitism over Tweet
--------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is facing criticism after he tweeted an image on
Saturday showing Hillary Clinton, a pile of $100 bills and a six-pointed
Star of David, along with the words "Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!" The
tweet immediately drew criticism for being anti-Semitic. Trump has
called the claims of anti-Semitism ridiculous, but he deleted the tweet
and later retweeted the same image, but with the Star of David replaced
by a circle. The news outlet Mic.com has reported the original image
shared by the presumptive Republican presidential candidate came from a
Twitter user whose feed includes a number of violent and offensive
images of African Americans, Muslims and immigrants.
