Perhaps now that it's happened to a NY Times reporter this will get more attention. For a while now, conservatives like Ben Shapiro and others who have been against Trump, have been harassed by anti-Semitic Trump supporters. Photoshopped images of Trump in a Nazi uniform pressing the button to a gas chamber with an image of Shapiro or others in the gas chamber seem to be the favorite. There have been death threats, including threats against Shapiro when he tweeted about the birth of his son.

Classy, Trumpsters.

Yesterday, a reporter from the NY Times tweeted:

"""Melania Trump says @juliaioffe provoked vile antisemitism. Klan all in & Adelson urges Jews to back @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/7wFJwVFOSt """

This began a deluge of anti-Semitic tweets against the reporter.

I posted about this in another thread, in which a reporter did a story about Melania Trump and received the same anti-Semitic deluge of tweets, including death threats. She also "received calls from people playing Hitler speeches, told that she 'should be burned in an oven,' 'be shot in the head,' and was sent photoshopped images of her in a concentration camp uniform."

Melania's only response was that while some "probably" went too far, "she (the reporter) provoked them." I.E. it's the victim's fault.

Re: More anti-Semitism From Trumpsters

nDavid,
trump supporters' response to this will be the same tired tune, "all the candidates have racists supporting them".

What they never admit is that SOME IN THE GOP have pandered to these racists and their racist mindsets for a LONG TIME and that the number of them that make up the GOP base is far more than the ones that identify as Democrat. Furthermore, these racists are far more influential than any racist parading as a Democrat!

The reason so many support Trump is because his nationalist and immigration policy appeals to them.

Which is why David Duke, the Council of Concerned Citizens (the largest WN group), the Traditionalist Workers Party, the American Freedom Party (who created a Trump PAC and made robocalls in UT, MN and VT urging supporters to vote for Trump), the American Renaissance magazine and Neo-Nazi blogger The Daily Stormer all support Trump.

And all these groups combined make up about one thousandth of one percent of Trump supporters. Wanting a more nationalist approach and enforcement of our already very generous immigration laws does not constitute a love for fascism and anti-Semitism.

Submit proof of your claim.

It's much more the "one thousandth of one percent."

That isn't the only reply. One response was "why is the fact that they support Trump a negative."

I don't need to state a percentage. I said there are many, and there are.

The other poster is the one trying to set a percentage so it would appear the support is null. He should submit proof, but will not because he fabricated it.

It is typical of the leftist media to mine for info like this to paint the GOP in general as a hive for racists. But this is the first time i can remember a supposed conservative voter gladly plating along with the leftist media's distortion tactics as the OP is constantly doing on this board.
