Trump Now Openly Pandering to Antisemites, Tweets Star of David in Attack on Clinton
By now everyone should be aware that the Donald Trump campaign is pandering to white supremacists, neo-Nazis, racists and antisemites; if you look at the replies to every tweet from Trump, they’re overflowing with ugly comments from these vile creatures.

You might think this was just an accident, a six-pointed star chosen by coincidence, except there have been way too many of these “coincidences” in the Trump campaign. A few examples:
