Today the New York Observer published an open letter to the newspapers owner, Jared Kushner, in which a reporter named Dana Schwartz asks her boss to reconsider his close relationship with his father-in-law, the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who recently tweeted (and later deleted) an anti-Semitic meme about Hillary Clinton. Schwartz, who is Jewish, tells Kushner, who is also Jewish: When you stand silent and smiling in the background, his Jewish son-in-law, youre giving his most hateful supporters tacit approval.

Following the letters publication, Ken Kurson, Schwartzs boss and the editor-in-chief of the Observer, gave a remarkable statement to Politicos Peter Sterne. The first half of it reads:

I disagree with Danas criticism. All presidential candidates attract people whose support makes them uncomfortable. I think the effort to paint Donald Trump as an anti-semite because some of his supporters are is like saying that Bernie Sanders hates the US because some of his supporters spit on American flags at his rallies. I understand that the worst among Trumps supporters can make Jewish journalists including myself uncomfortable with their stupid and hateful screeching.

It is certainly true that presidential candidates attract people whose support makes them uncomfortable. But there is virtually no evidence that Donald Trump is uncomfortable with his support among white supremacists. Furthermore, the effort to paint Donald Trump as an anti-semite is not solely based on the fact that some of supporters tweet about the global extermination of Jews. Its also based on the fact that Trumps campaign literally tweeted, using his own account, an anti-Semitic meme, possibly sourced from a white supremacist message board.

To my knowledge, the president has never disavowed knowing who Chavez was.
