On Wednesday evening, Donald Trump renewed attempts to defend a tweet his campaign published on Saturday calling Hillary Clinton the “most corrupt candidate ever” in a Star of David.
Trump published a tweet Wednesday night with an image of a “Frozen” themed coloring book that included a six point star on its cover.
Where is the outrage for this Disney book? Is this the ‘Star of David’ also?
Dishonest media! #Frozen pic.twitter.com/4LJBpSm8xa— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 7, 2016
The Clinton campaign responded on Twitter with a “Frozen” pun.

Trump also went off on critics of his since-deleted tweet during a campaign rally in Ohio, repeatedly telling the crowd that “it’s a star,” not specifically a Star of David.
He accused the media of stirring up a controversy.
“They’re racially profiling. They’re profiling, not us,” he said, referring to media coverage of the tweet. “Because why are they bringing this up?”
He said that members of the press “are sick people.”
Trump defended his social media manager, Dan Scavino, for publishing the tweet, and said that he told his employees at the campaign that they should have never deleted the tweet.
Wasn’t Walt Disney rumored to be an anti-Semite?
Strawmen, strawmen everywhere!
Okay, Donald, I see the star, but I don’t see the word “corrupt” and I don’t see any mention or pics of dollars. Dude, it’s the combination of all three that sends the anti-Semitic message, you idjit.
Trump outrage!
Media coverage!
Hillary umbrage!
Twitter Sad!
What a fucking asshole loser.
If there was a god in heaven (which I doubt), he would strike Donald “the draft dodging coward” Trump dead.
