That's it? That's the source of this manufactured controversy? Pathetic.
The Clinton-Confederate connection was a far bigger "scandal", and that was completely trivial, except in the sense of demonstrating their hypocrisy.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Donald Trump is in the spotlight again after his presidential campaign put the blame on an intern for a social media mistake.
Trump’s Twitter account posted a picture of Nazi soldiers. The image features an American flag, a portrait of Trump, money, the White House, and soldiers all combined in one photo.
Twitter users pointed out the soldiers in the bottom-right of the photo are not American. They were German World War II soldiers wearing Nazi uniforms.
The photo was flagged and the Trump campaign quickly deleted the tweet shortly after.
A Trump spokesman said the intern tweeted the picture before staffers could review it.
“A young intern created and posted the image and did not see the very faded figures within the flag of the stock photo,” the spokesperson told The Guardian. “The intern apologized and immediately deleted the tweet.”
According to The Guardian, in the same hour the Nazi image was tweeted, USA Today released a poll showing Trump is now the leading candidate for the Republican party’s presidential nomination.
It showed Trump is ahead of the Republican field with 17 percent of support. Florida governor Jeb Bush is right behind him at 14 percent.
As of now, it is unclear if the Nazi tweet mistake will affect voters.
The press is experienced at creating shiny objects for distraction.
“As of now, it is unclear if the Nazi tweet mistake will affect voters.”
Really? Really? Clinton was molesting a intern in the Oval Office with his wife and kid upstairs and the Democrats worship him.
A tweet? Really?
Dumb intern....YOU’RE FIRED!!
yeah, and the shelf life for this distraction is what, 3 minutes?
This is news?
A tweet with erroneous faded graphic?
Looking forward to Trump’s next speech.
Of course, when liberal interns, or politicians for that matter, make mistakes, all is forgiven.
Even Anthony Wiener made his “mistake.” Till he became a habitual offender.
The press is still running with the "Trump is anti-immigrant" falsehood.
"Trump is a closet Nazi" will be tough for the press to resist!
It really depends on which campaign makes the mistake.
It was a dumb easily avoided mistake but that’s all it is.
That's it? That's the source of this manufactured controversy? Pathetic.
The Clinton-Confederate connection was a far bigger "scandal", and that was completely trivial, except in the sense of demonstrating their hypocrisy.
But it won’t have any impact on a single person who in any way is a potential future Trump supporter.....
That’s true. Nothing but a distraction.
Trump, you’re going to have to check EVERYONE who you hire. Even....or maybe especially the sweet little interns.
Two words somebody is going to hear. “Your Fired”
In my mind, I can see GOPe ads featuring the German troops and photo shopped pictures of Trump’s face with a little toothbrush mustache wearing a tan uniform with a Sam Browne belt.
They live in a parallel universe to we normal people. It’s ok for them to do that stuff, but everyone else? Naaahhh
Especially the SEIU bartenders at your private donor events. Ban all cellphones from service workers during events, or you WILL have another Romney "47%" crisis on your hands.

Surely the trump organization can do a better job of selecting who speaks for his brand
No more Omorosa’s
I take it as a plus.
No more Omorosa's. Yeah, sometimes the show was like watching a train wreck, but somehow Trump always ended up on top.
