Trump Invokes 'Frozen' In His Anti-Semitic Tweet Scandal, Twitter Responds

Last week, Donald Trump retweeted an image that played into his “Crooked Hillary” narrative while also being shockingly anti-Semitic. When outcry came, Trump’s camp tried several ridiculous responses. His Twitter account actually deleted the tweet, replacing it with a hasty photoshop, that left a bit of that star visible. The campaign tried to change the news cycle by teasing his potential VP picks. Trump insisted that it wasn’t a Star of David on the image that was birthed on a bigoted message board, but a “sheriff’s badge.” (Because the message was not that a cabal of greedy Jews are working together to fund “Crooked Hillary,” but that a cabal of wealthy sheriffs are?) Even Trump’s Jewish friend/son-in-law Jared Kushner got in on the lunacy of deflection, responding to Dana Schwartz’s powerful open letter by basically arguing: Trump isn’t an anti-semite because he’s always been nice to me.

Then last night, Trump made his strangest gambit yet, looping in Disney and a Frozen sticker book into his liberal media conspiracy theory.

Where is the outrage for this Disney book? Is this the 'Star of David' also?

This man is real. And he’s running for president.

Twitter responded swiftly and without mercy:

Well, that did it. Now my 3 year-old and 2 year-old daughters hate Trump too. #Frozen

Trump uses #Frozen book to show 5 pt star isn't racist, as if context doesn't matter. A cross isn't racist either, until it burns on a lawn.

Also, @RealDonaldTrump, this star is not atop A PILE OF MONEY and you didn't get it from a white supremacist account https://t.co/f6tPvqlhBu

Fortunately Frozen is unpopular and Disney is not powerful so I don't anticipate this backfiring for Trump at all

Maybe Trump wants the "parents of young girls who are sick of seeing Frozen over and over" demographic.

Trump could be talking about Hillary Clinton and the FBI, instead we'll all be making Frozen jokes and memes for the next 48 hours.

Trump invoking Frozen. His campaign manager responds "let it go"

The rest of the campaign should be Trump reviewing Disney movies #Frozen

But the winner of this round is Hillary Clinton.

Kristy Puchko believes Trump is either a bigot, or will happily court them for votes. Either way, he’s a repulsive fuckwad
