Paul Ryan Denounces Donald Trump's Use of 'Anti-Semitic' Hillary Clinton Image

Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan has denounced a recent Donald Trump tweet featuring Hillary Clinton and a six-pointed star, calling the image “anti-Semitic.”

The image, which Trump tweeted on July 2, shows Hillary Clinton, along with the words “most corrupt candidate ever” emblazoned on a Star of David and a pile of $100 bills in the background. He posted the image with the words, “Crooked Hillary – – Makes History!”

In an interview with Wisconsin radio host Charlie Sykes on Tuesday, Ryan was asked about Trump’s use of the image. He replied, “anti-Semitic images—they’ve got no place in a presidential campaign. Candidates should know that. The tweet has been deleted and I don’t know how long he put this up there. Obviously they’ve got to fix that.”

Ryan also said that Trump needs to “clean this up.”
