Jewish Employee of Trump's Son-in-Law Demands He Condemn Anti-Semitism
----------------------------------------------------------------------

A Jewish employee of a newspaper owned by Donald Trump's Orthodox Jewish
son-in-law has called on him to speak out against anti-Semitism in
Trump's campaign. Jared Kushner, who is married to Ivanka, is an
Orthodox Jew who owns the Observer newspaper. He has been a key member
of Donald Trump's campaign. In the open letter, Observer entertainment
writer Dana Schwartz wrote, "when you stand silent and smiling in the
background, his Jewish son-in-law, you're giving his most hateful
supporters tacit approval." This comes after Trump tweeted an
anti-Semitic image showing Hillary Clinton, a pile of cash and a
six-pointed Star of David, along with the words "Most Corrupt Candidate
Ever!" The image originally appeared on a white supremacist message
board. In response to the open letter, Jared Kushner wrote that Trump
"does not at all subscribe to any racist or anti-Semitic thinking."
