WASHINGTON (JTA) Donald Trump Jr. retweeted an attack on Hillary Clinton by Kevin MacDonald, a psychologist notorious for his theories of Jewish manipulation and control.
The Aug. 29 tweet itself had nothing to do with Jews or the theories that have made MacDonald popular among Holocaust deniers. In it, MacDonald referred to Clintons interactions as secretary of state with UBS, a Swiss bank that also has contributed to the Clinton Foundation.
Trumps father, Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, has sought to make an issue of allegations that Clinton inappropriately dealt with foundation donors while she was secretary of state in President Barack Obamas first term. Clinton is the Democratic nominee.
The retweet by Trump Jr., first reported by political commentator Charles Johnson on his website, Little Green Footballs, has drawn unfavorable attention. Deborah Lipstadt, the Holocaust historian, on Wednesday linked to the Little Green Footballs entry on her Facebook page, and noted that MacDonald testified on behalf of David Irving when the Holocaust denier unsuccessfully sued Lipstadt for defamation.

Do NONE of those trumpettes check who they're pushing in those tweets? Will the press EVER confront anyone from that campaign about this? Especially this smug little worm.

So he brings out the dog foghorn. The dog siren. The dog blimp with the giant dog sign on the side of it.
