Artist Who Created 'Blatantly Anti-Semitic Cartoon' Invited By Trump To White House

An artist blasted by the Anti-Defamation League for creating a “blatantly anti-Semitic cartoon” has been invited to the White House by President Donald Trump.

Cartoonist Ben Garrison proudly tweeted his invitation to join a “Social Media Summit” this coming Thursday at the White House. The invitation was called out on Saturday by CNN’s Jake Tapper.

Trump’s Social Media Summit is expected to address the president’s complaints that social media platforms’ policies against threats and hate speech are blocking conservative voices.

Two years ago, Garrison created an inflammatory cartoon depicting Jewish billionaire philanthropist George Soros using puppet strings to control then-Gen. H.R. McMaster, who was serving as Trump’s national security adviser at the time, and retired Gen. David Petraeus. The image was a nod to an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that a secretive international Jewish cabal controls the world. In the cartoon, Soros is being controlled by a hand labeled the “Rothschilds,” a famous Jewish banking family.

Trumpco are pathetic, racist conspiracy pushers in order to keep their knuckle-dragging cultist supporters, who exist in a fantasy universe ... in thrall to their bullshit.

Also, c'mon Huff-Po editors!

"then-Gen. H.R. McMaster"

He's still a General. He was 'then-national security adviser' ... just sayin' ...
