Picture Shows Bernie Sanders Being Sent To A Gas Chamber By A Smiling Donald Trump!!! Outrageous.

Donald Trump Retweets Creator of Picture Showing Bernie Sanders Sent to Gas Chamber By A Smiling Trump




By Lior Zaltzman

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has been littered with odd moments, but this one takes the cake.

This Friday, Trump’s official Twitter feed retweeted this Tweet that takes a jab at GOP rival Jeb Bush. It shows a photoshopped image of Bush in front of the Trump Towers, holding up a “Vote for Trump” sign.

Seems innocuous enough. Until you see the account it’s retweeted from: @WhiteGenocideTM.

The account promotes a pro-Adolf Hitler documentary “The Greatest Story Never Told.”

Maybe those rumors about Trump keeping Hitler speeches on his bedside table are true after all.

But that’s not even the worst of it. A @WhiteGenocideTM photoshop creation shows Trump in a Nazi uniform flipping on the gas switch on a gas chamber housing… Jewish candidate Bernie Sanders.

And he changed parties a lot or a few times. But, mostly when I think of him I think HOLY CRAP how can he get that many votes. Now I look at people who like T-rump the same way.

So I agree, Jewish Lives Matter. I know what her family went through and I know what has said about her even today. I don't know how a juvenile picture of David Duke 2.0 'gassing' Sanders falls under the category of discussion, but if it makes you feel better.

Seems to me that there should be a more mature way to discuss this, if you feel that's the way we can end antisemitism. I do recall President Obama discussing this and it mostly fell on deaf-ears.

In an important sense, his political education was now nearly complete. He’d traveled from a three-and-a-half-room apartment in Flatbush and the close interdependency of a family of first- and second-generation Eastern European Jewish immigrants who showed their children snapshots of relatives murdered by the Nazis, to Chicago in the 1960s and the disillusioning discovery of institutional complicity in racism and war. He’d gone back to New York and personal turmoil and then had found release into self-sufficiency and social withdrawal in rural Vermont, where utopianism, protest, and anti-establishment lifestyles and practical politics all huddled together inside the Liberty Union tent, which, though it turned out to be rather fragile cover against the prevailing winds of 1970s party politics in Vermont, nevertheless taught Sanders that he had valuable skills as an organizer and as a public speaker and that at least one medium, television, found him extremely attractive.

The person who created that, those who spread that to build hatred, and those who agree with its message are the worst people on earth.
