"I’m asking you, not as a ‘gotcha’ journalist or as a liberal but as a human being: how do you allow this? Because, Mr. She was formerly a New Yorker cartoon assistant and a staff writer and. "Please do not condescend to me and pretend you don’t understand the imagery of a six-sided star when juxtaposed with money and accusations of financial dishonesty,” Schwartz wrote in the open letter. Dana Schwartz is an arts and entertainment writer for the New York Observer. Mic and The Daily Beast reported that the image originated on a white Supremacist twitter account.
The tweet was widely interpreted as an anti-Semitic dog whistle, though the Trump campaign later claimed that the six-pointed star was meant to be a “sheriff’s star,” not the Star of David. On Saturday, Trump tweeted - and later deleted - a photoshopped image that depicted Hillary Clinton in front of a background of money, next to a six-pointed star that read “Most corrupt candidate ever!” Kushner, who is Jewish, is married to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, and has reportedly become a top adviser to the Trump campaign. The editor of the Observer, Ken Kurson, told POLITICO that he signed off on the open letter, and that he did not discuss it with Kushner beforehand. New York Observer entertainment writer Dana Schwartz published an open letter to Observer publisher Jared Kushner on Tuesday, criticizing his tacit approval of Donald Trump’s use of anti-Semitic imagery. Kushner cites his own relatives’ experience in the Holocaust as proof that he profoundly understands anti-Semitism and does not believe Donald Trump near qualifies.New York Observer publishes open letter critical of publisher Jared Kushner His white-supremacist supporters are listening. Whether he’s a racist person or whether Republicans will just blame other Americans for being overly politically correct, this is a man who said that Mexicans are sending over rapists, or pointing out “my African-American over there.” There’s a laundry list of these casual-what he makes seem casual-but incredibly charged ideas that, if they seem like nothing to him, that’s incredibly ignorant. In this case, it’s an active campaign, in my mind. It’s not so much an unfortunate coincidence of policy. I think Donald Trump, in his rhetoric and in the images he tweets out, is making very clear that he is establishing himself as the candidate of racists. I think it goes beyond the bloc of supporters. So why should Trump be more responsible for the presence of these people in his party than any other candidate? Playing devil’s advocate a bit here: both Democrats and Republicans throughout their history have often relied on bigots and racists in their voting blocs. Whether it was an accident or on purpose, they’re both equally bad in my mind. But he’s a charming man who’s willing to court and take advantage of white-supremacist voters, either blatantly, with multiple tweets from white-supremacist sources and #AmericaFirst, or so carelessly that it makes me afraid that he would give those hateful groups so much space and leeway to operate.

And he leans into it by saying the reason that you think Donald Trump is anti-Semitic is because you’ve never met him. But I will say, there’s obviously a bias.
I’ve never met any of them, so I don’t know what they’re like in person. I think he’s seeing a father-in-law that he’d better keep his mouth shut and support. What do you think Kushner sees in that test?
Let’s work under the hypothesis that Trump is a Rorschach test and not anti-Semitic. and publicity for the campaign that he can’t make a human argument befitting what I would hope to be a man of his intelligence. It also makes me sad that he lives in a bubble of P.R. It makes me wonder if he even reads his paper, first. I even say in my article that I don’t think Donald Trump is an anti-Semite.
