A Trump advisor, Ed Brookover, insisted during a monday morning appearance on “>Facebook page. “As the Social Media Director for the campaign, I would never offend anyone and therefore chose to remove the image.”
The ADL refused to accept Trump’s explanation. “Donald Trump should stop playing the blame game and accept that his campaign tweeted an image with obvious anti-Semitic overtones and that, reportedly, was lifted from a white supremacist website,” the ADL said in a statement Monday night. “It’s long past time for Trump to unequivocally reject the hate-filled extremists orbiting around his campaign and take a stand against anti-Semitism, bigotry, and hate.”
This post was updated to include Trump’s statement and ADL’s response.
