Man behind Trump's eclipse meme laughed at liberals - then lost his t-shirt store for 'hating Jews'

President Donald Trump has retweeted an apparent white supremacist for the second time in a month.

As noted by MSNBC’s Kyle Griffin, the author of Trump’s retweeted solar eclipse meme has expressed anti-Semitic sentiments on Twitter before.

Life came at Jerry Travone, the author of the eclipse meme, fast.

Earlier in the day, he was mocking “libtards” who reacted to the image — but soon found himself locked out of the account for his t-shirt store, Pro Wrestler Tees.

Travone, who describes himself as a “YouTube actor and political junkie” on Twitter, claimed the account for his wrestling t-shirt store was hacked when he was exposed for anti-Semitism. In response, the company OneHourTees said they closed his store because he “hates Jews.”

Check out the comment section on any breitbart article about Jarad - or anything that can get blamed on Jarad - it's a sewer of hatred for Jews. ALL of degenerate donnie's problems are the fault of Jarad.

Thanks for the report from enemy territory.

I don't even watch TV or listen to the radio for news. I go to DU, TPM, the BBC and the Guardian and a few other progressive sites.

I can't say I am at all surprised by their thought process. I have slummed it at that site a few times...eeeeewww! What is really pissing me off are all the supposed lovers of diversity concerning themselves with which Jew is a good Jew and which ones are the bad ones. They have no problem spouting anti-Semitism memes themselves in regards to Jews, especially if they are right of center because they seem to think the ends justify the means. They are all in a tizzy about Jews who haven't spoken out against the "president" but they dare not say a fucking word about the other minorities who not only haven't been silent, but have actually spoken out in support of the "president"! Where is all the handwringing about those minorities and their place in the world?!

We are literally caught in the middle of a Scylla and Charybdis of anti-Semitism!

They make clear they're not talking about THEIR Jews. But when talking about "those others" they let their freak fly. Both sides.

We are never good enough for them, nothing we do can satisfy them, and they will always find fault with anyone discussing anti-Semitism by pointing out "well, this Jew thinks/did...".

And they either don't understand...or pretend they don't understand the connection between this nonsense and a very strong level of support for Israel.

But of course this sorry little shit won't learn from it and will just keep sobbing how the Jews are so mean to him since they won't tolerate him picking on them.

Sad little pieces of shit...
