ADL goes after Trump for his Anti-Semitic ad

[MADem]

“The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake,” Trump’s voice says in the ad. “For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interests - they partner with these people that don’t have your good in mind.”

“That have bled our country dry,” he continues in the ad. For examples of the powerful elites, the ad cuts together video clips of billionaire George Soros, Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyn Blankfein -- all of whom are Jewish.

The ad didn’t escape the ADL’s notice.

Early Sunday, the anti-hate group released a statement on Twitter from their CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, stating that “whether intentional or not, the images and rhetoric in this ad touch on subjects that anti-Semites have used for ages.”

"Deplorable" is too nice a word. I think "fucking bigot" works better. What say you?

1. Sen. Al Franken called it a German Shepard Dog Whistle.

This ad is directed at the alt-right. It was no doubt Steve Bannon's idea.

2. Al Franken was quite eloquent!!

Sen. Al Franken, D-Minnesota, also leveled sharp criticisms at the ad on Sunday.

“When I saw the ad, I thought that this was something of a German shepherd whistle, a dog-whistle, to a certain group in the United States,” Franken, who is Jewish, said on CNN Sunday, slamming its appeal to Trump’s “alt-right base.”

“Maybe I’m sensitive to it, but it clearly had sort of Elders of Zion kind of feel to it, international banking crisis... uh, plot, or conspiracy rather, and then a number of Jews,” Franken added.
