After a public outcry highlighted the star’s resemblance to the Star of David, Trump deleted the image.

"Donald Trump should stop playing the blame game and accept that his campaign tweeted an image with obvious anti-Semitic overtones and that, reportedly, was lifted from a white supremacist website," said ADL chairman Jonathan Greenblatt, citing claims that the image originated on an anti-Semitic internet forum.

"It's long past time for Trump to unequivocally reject the hate-filled extremists orbiting around his campaign and take a stand against anti-Semitism, bigotry, and hate."

The Trump campaign has denied that the image is anti-Semitic or originated on a white supremacist website.

"The social media graphic used this weekend was not created by the campaign nor was it sourced from an anti-Semitic site," said Trump campaign social media mainager Daniel Scavino. "It was lifted from an anti-Hillary Twitter user where countless images appear."

But on Tuesday House Speaker Paul Ryan, who endorsed Trump in June, blasted such denials, saying the image was anti-Semitic, and called upon the Trump campaign to clean up its social media campaign.

Despite his endorsement of Trump, Ryan has castigated the GOP nominee’s campaign in the past.

“Look, anti-Semitic images, they’ve got no place in a presidential campaign,” Ryan said during a radio interview with WTMJ’s Charlie Sykes.

“Candidates should know that. The tweet’s been deleted. I don’t know what flunky put this up there. They’ve obviously got to fix that".

Ryan called Trump’s tweets a distraction, and called on the campaign to focus in on policy prescriptions.

"We’ve got to get back to the issues that matter to the public."

Hillary just skates on a criminal conspiracy and Ryan is worrying about a sheriff’s badge.

Having been married to a Jew, Trump has Jewish children and grandchildren.

Calling him anti-Semitic is bloody stupid.

Of course, if you say it often enough and loud enough, you can get the sheeple to believe it.

Rino needs to limit himself to commenting solely on the criminal acts of Hillary Clinton and learn to say nothing regarding Trump...ever.

The same people that call out Trump and call him an Anti Semite, they should check out the upcoming Democrat Convention, where the Palestinian platform will be up front and center..and lets not forget in 2012 how the left BOOED Israel during their convention, but hey, a stupid star from Microsoft Word is somehow Anti Jewish

And Hillary has taken tens of millions of dollars in bribes...er “donations” from Muslim countries that routinely murder gays, women and Jews yet Ryan says nothing. Yet he publicly condemns Trump’s tweet?

Ryan is an idiot

I detest this SOB. At a time of dire need to pull together this establishment loser is devisive. I have suggested he be pulled down from the convention chairmanship or hounded from the stage by the 2000 of Trump delegates. He has ripped it.

RYAN IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT

That is the ONLY REASON to attack both Trump and Hillary in the same day - and especially attacking Trump over something so silly.

I hope Trump’s people are ready for it.

Anyone who exhibits that star is anti-Semitic. James Arness was anti-Semitic when he played Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke, an obviously anti-Semitic show.
