That absolutely seals it, he either browses the_Donald or has someone close to him feed him content from there.

[Sho]

Yeah, basically. looool

Can you imagine this guy scanning The_Donald and reveling in all of the adoration for himself in that subreddit?

Hillary's twitter reply was "Do you want to build a strawman?"

[Gredival]

Holy fuck whoever runs Hillary's Twitter is on point.

[archibaldcrane]

You guys... actually believe this one? I guess I'll wait for the interview where Hillary says she always wears a Yarmulke to understand it.

The image he tweeted originated on a neonazi antisemitic Twitter account and made the rounds on the far right dregs of reddit. So, at the very least, you have to question what he or his social media team are reading.

Both candidates need to pay more attention to the kind of information they transmit over the interwebs.

Understandable if you assume that is the case, I suppose.

Even Hillary outsources her jokes:

But she removed the musical note header, that totally makes it OK.

I really hate saying this, but, without the original connection to an antisemitism page, this controversy is totally blown out of proportion. Especially with the correction they made.

Seriously, I'm already having trouble with the kind of election this is. It's the worst shit slinging fest I've ever seen. There's nothing positive being said about anything.

I completely agree. Thought people were giving Trump shit for nothing here. Then he brought up frozen and once again proved he's out of his mind lol.

In what might be amusing to hear the official response on, someone made one of those White House petitions and it's already passed the required 100k signatures.

I don't know. I think the answer is relatively simple. The FBI says we shouldn't pursue, so we won't pursue.

[Dotsudoku]

verdicts only matter when we agree with them

[kuronosan]

OJ was innocent.

for better or for worse i think the people called out on their strawmen have zero idea what that is or if they do, that they're doing it

If it wasn't part of a pattern, that would be one thing. But it's clear that Trump and/or his people are consistently reading "alt-right" material, and it's legit concerning that the second most likely person to become president is in that world.
