Over the weekend, Donald Trump tweeted a picture of Hillary Clinton next to a six-pointed star and piles of money, calling her the "most corrupt candidate ever." Soon after, a lot of people pointed out that this evoked some common anti-semitic tropes, and that the image had previously appeared on a white supremacist-leaning message board. Then Trumps social media team hastily slapped a circle over the star and issued a Chewbacca defense-style explanation that involved the Microsoft Office Shapes tool and the premise that a sheriffs badge "fit with the theme" of money and corruption. Then the campaign blamed the entire thing on "biased media," insisting that a candidate who routinely retweets apparent white supremacist accounts and refused to denounce former KKK grand wizard David Duke could not possibly condone anti-semitism.
Many presidential candidates might have decided that this whole affair had gone far enough and moved on to literally any other issue. But Donald Trump is the candidate of the internet, and that means never resting as long as someone is (supposedly) wrong. So last night, he dug up a photo of a childrens book based on the movie Frozen, noted a six-pointed star badge on the cover, and tweeted it in a jab to the "dishonest media." With the #Frozen hashtag.

But Hillary had a great response:
Where is the outrage for... anything that dares go against me, Donald Trump?
