7:26Now PlayingThe Trump campaign is using antisemitic dog whistle politics in their latest campaign ad. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Donald Trump may be best known for his antipathy toward Mexicans, Muslims and women, but his 2016 presidential campaign has a long history of anti-Semitism as well. Thus his closing campaign ad, released on Saturday, serves as a perversely fitting final note to his candidacy.
Titled “Donald Trump’s Argument for America,” the ad depicts Trump as a populist outsider determined to free Americans from the corrupt insiders ruining this country.
“The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election,” Trump asserts. “For those who control the levers of power in Washington,” he intones (as an image of philanthropist George Soros appears), “and for the global special interests,” he adds (while an image of Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen appears), “they partner with these people that don’t have your good in mind.” At his utterance of the last phrase an image of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton appears.
Later the ad shows video footage of Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein as Trump declares, “It’s a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.”
While this footage may seem innocuous, anti-Semites watching the ad will immediately pick up on the fact that — aside from Hillary Clinton — every insider mentioned in the campaign spot is Jewish. Aside from their Jewishness, they don’t have very much in common: Soros is a financier well-known for his philanthropy for left-wing causes, Yellen presides over the country’s top financial regulator the Federal Reserve, and Blankfein is the CEO of Goldman Sachs, the elite investment banking powerhouse.”*
