Trump Retweets a White Supremacist… Again

This is not the first time we’ve reported this. This is not the second time we’ve reported this. This is not the third time we’ve reported this. This is the fourth time we’ve told you that Donald Trump, GOP frontrunner and likely Republican nominee for the presidency, has retweeted an apparent white supremacist on Twitter.

The tweet:

“@NeilTurner_: @realDonaldTrump There’s only one real candidate, and it’s you! Donors control the other candidates! #VoteTrump” Thank you.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 27, 2016

The investigation, launched by Twitter user Andrew Staroska, who is one of many using #NeverTrump:

Another RT from Trump that is beyond questionable. Feature not a bug. #NeverTrump pic.twitter.com/tLFdz6fHpr

The move is especially unwise considering that mere days ago, Trump was endorsed by famous former KKK leader David Duke. The public is generally displeased, though it is worth noting that the white supremacist Trump retweeted has done some retweeting of his own and that retweeting is of none other than Duke.

With Twitter being such a large part of Trump’s campaign and daily recreational activities, you’d think there would be someone on his staff who would vet these accounts before retweeting them. Then again, maybe there is.
