Trump facing criticism over ‘anti-Semitic’ advert
The Republican nominee used election material that cited three Jewish 'establishment' figures who had 'trillions' at stake in the vote
The Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has been criticised for using an ‘anti-Semitic’ campaign advert.
Trump was condemned for using election material which asserts the “establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election” and features photos of billionaire George Soros, Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen and Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein, all of whom are Jewish.
The National Jewish Democratic Council said the ad’s use of anti-Semitic stereotypes was “shocking and dangerous” but Mr Trump’s campaign said criticism of the ad was “completely false and uncalled for”.
