US Presidential hopeful and Presumptive Democratic Nominee, Hillary Clinton, has accused her Republican rival, Donald Trump, of being "blatantly anti-semitic"�.
After Trump posted a tweet that featured a six-pointed star and a shape resembling the Star of David, Clinton e-mailed a statement to reporters saying: "Donald Trump's use of a blatantly anti-Semitic image from racist websites to promote his campaign would be disturbing enough, but the fact that it's a part of a pattern should give voters major cause for concern."�
Trump's tweet which was later deleted before being re-posted with the slogan contained in a circle; also included stacks of money, with a text describing Mrs Clinton as "most corrupt candidate ever!"�
The 'Star of David' was used by Nazi's to identify Jews during WW2, and it features prominently on the Israeli flag.
However, in a tweet on Monday, Trump chided the media for being "dishonest" and said he had not meant the six-pointed star to refer to the Star of David, which is a symbol of Judaism.
Rather, Trump said, the star could have referred to a "plain star" or a "sheriff's badge," which is shaped similarly except for small circles at the ends of each of its six points.
