Donald Trump was forced to reissue a tweet Saturday after Twitter users issued charges of anti-Semitism.
The deleted tweet featured an image of Hillary Clinton with the words “History Made” as well as “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” with the latter phrase being contained inside a six-pointed star. The graphics were laid over a pile of cash.
The tweet was immediately criticized by some many on Twitter, who said the six-pointed star can be linked to the Jewish star of David.
