Donald trumps use of a blatantly antisemitic image from racist web sites to promote his campaign would be disturbing enough but the fact that its part of a pattern should give voters major cause for concern. Now not only wont he apologize for it hes peddling lies and blaming others. Trump should be condemning hate not offering more campaign behavior and rhetoric that engages extremists. It goes on the president should be someone who brings americans together not someone who sends signals and offers policies of division. I mentioned a moment ago, let me reiterate, that trump has deleted this message replacing it with an image that uses a circle on the right side of your screen instead of the star of david, sent out the initial tweet saturday, the day secretary clinton interviewed with the fbi for three and a half hours over her use of that private email server when she served as secretary of state. So lets begin this conversation with cnn political reporter sara murray. I know sara you have more information as far as where that initial came from. Thats right, the image initially we found it ten days ago. It was on a white supremacist web site and, of course even before that realization, donald trump was already facing some blowback about the antisemitic imagery invoked in this tweet and so thats why they deleted it they replaced it with this other tweet. Thats what makes his explanation of that today even more confusing. I want to take you to what hes tweeted today to explain this saying the Dishonest Media is trying their absolute best to depict a star in a tweet as the star of david rather than a sheriffs star or a plain star. Now, of course brooke, thats not a plain star we know what a plain star looks like and they still felt the need to delete it and replace it with Something Else and one of the senior advisors to the campaign explained on new day what was behind this controversy and the fact that they feel like its been taken care of. Take a listen. Not every sixsided star is the star of david, there was no intent at all. We corrected this tweet and have moved on. Theres no antisemitism in mr. Trumps body not one ounce, not one cell. So we corrected this image and its time for us to move on. There is nothing, nothing, nothing about mr. Trump that suggests antisemitism. So you hear one explanation from a Senior Campaign advisor there, but the reality is trump does have a history in the past. Hes retweeted neonazi supporters blasted out incorrect and racially charged Crime Statistics and there was the interview he did with jake tapper where he failed to disavow white supremacist david duke repeatedly although he later did so. Thats what causing a worrisome pattern for some people. Thats the reason weve gone back to trump advisors repeatedly a number of them to say how did this image end up appearing on a white supremacist web site then appearing on Donald Trumps twitter feed . Why did that happen . Is someone going to face consequences far . So far those questions have gone unresponded to. Its a great question. Ill use in the just a second. Sara murray thank you so much for now in our nations capital. Its not just secretary clinton going after this tweet. Also antitrump conservatives. This message is from katie packer who founded an antitrump super pac. She tweeted whats with the star of david . Is the gop nominee sending some kind of dog whistle . Joining me now a trump surrogate Boris Epstein and chris cofinas, ceo of park street strategies. Thank you for joining us. Good afternoon, happy fourth. Straight up boris, to saras point. How did an image from a white supremacist web site land on a tweet from mr. Trump. I wont comment on that process, youll have to ask mr. Trump. Youre a surrogate. As the advisor said lets move on and talk about real issues. Real issues such as wh who is better for actual jews, whos better for the state of israel . Thats donald trump. Hillary clinton supported the iran deal which is an existential threat to jewish people of all over the world and all people of all religions. Thats not we should focus on not a tweet thats already gone and not on the internet anymore. Well go big picture but i think part of this from secretary clinton as weve seen in her camps statement, it goes to the point shes been making not president ial issues with his temperament and questions why, if there was nothing the matter why delete it . Why did the trump team delete the tweet . Secretary clinton is using anything she can to take the attention to take why did they delete the treat . Excuse me brooke . Sorry. Why did they delete the tweet . Thats his twitter account. I wont comment about it. What i will tell you is Hillary Clinton is playing politics, shes lying to the American People and has been doing so for 40 years shes been on the National Stage from her career at the Rose Law Firm to first lady to secretary of state to now as a candidate shes been a habitual liar and breaking laws rules and regulations along the way and Inspector General of the secretary of state found it and now its up to the doj. Well get to secretary clinton in just a second and her three and a half hour questioning process, trust me over the week wednesday the fbi. Its a much bigger point hang on. Depends on who you ask. Chris, on the tweet issue and the lack of answers as far as why it was deleted if the trump team is saying not antisemitic what do you think . Anyone who has ever worked in a president ial campaign know this is stuff doesnt happen. You have to go through multiple chains in order to get something posted. Now the Trump Campaign is a little atypical. The problem here and this is why i think people are so offended this is another example in a pattern of offending key groups across the country. Whether youre talking about hispanics, whether youre talking about women, now youre talking about jews whether youre talking about muslims. This is the crux of his campaign to try to divide and conquer. If you want that kind of a candidate, if you want someone who will divide this country and bring out the worst of people donald trump is your guy, you should definitely vote for him. Kborboris, i want to give you a chance to took place that. Mr. Trump has a great record of being a friend to the jewish people in israel. His daughter is jewish his grand kids are jewish his soninlaw is jewish. Wait a second let me finish. I let you finish. Hold on one voice. Its unfair to talk about antisemitism. It was a tweet, it was corrected. Lets move on please dont use it as another way to take attention away from Hillary Clintons awful week and her interview with the fbi. Thats what youre doing, chris, dont do it. I hate to burst your balloon but the reality is you guys tweeted it. It was the campaign you support that tweeted it. Here is the right strategy when you make a mistake you admit it and move on. Appreciate your help here wait a second. Give that advice to the democrats and to Hillary Clinton. They did not and this is Donald Trumps problem. Its been from the very beginning of this primary, its why republicans across the board are not supporting him. Hes a candidate that is incapable of admitting wrong but worst he revels in it. Thats not what the country wants. Chris, go ahead and concentrate on the democrats and worry about Hillary Clinton. Listen well get there. Lets pivot lets pivot she let me jump in on the dems and specifically we know she was interviewed over the weekend which timing wise is a saturday before this holiday when suddenly shes being interviewed, this three and a half hour inquisition over this email probe and, chris, my question to you is part of the criticism on the Hillary Clinton side is that shes sort of is able to security the rules that pertain to her, the fact that the timing of this was, again, the saturday before the fourth of july. Sfa that she maybe has an insiders grip on the investigation. How do you respond to those criticisms. Well i dont think anyone is going to suggest the fbi somehow plays political favorites. The director of the fbi is someone who supported republicans. The fbi will make the decision and this is the reality. If the sources that are being reported by cnn, for example, are correct, theres not going to be any charges. And if there are no charges i have no doubt the republicans like boris and other Trump Supporters are going to come out here and admit they were wrong and apologize to secretary clinton for suggesting any wrongdoing. I will not hold my breath the Inspector General already stated she broke the laws, so theres already been wrongdoing and you know it chris. Let boris responsibilityd, go ahead. The Inspector General of the department of state already stated Hillary Clinton broke the rules of the department of state. Thats already fact. Now its about a criminal investigation and if this was anyone else anyone else, that person would be indicted right now because theres already evidence on its face because clearly youre a lawyer and you know that. And you clearly work in the fbi and you know that. She did expose secret and classified information were waiting for information. Were three weeks away final question to you, chris. Were three weeks away from her partys convention. Shes done what has asked of her as far as answering thesies. What does that tell voters maybe even those who havent totally made up their minds. This is just before everyone is getting together to be excited about this side of the political nomination process and this is still mucking it up. Well listen its a challenge, i wont admit its not. The reality is secretary clinton has said she has to go out there and earn and reearn the trust of the American People. That is what every candidate whos running for president has done but i think the difference here and where voters will end up fixating on were already seeing this in the polls is who has a positive clear vision that will take the country forward. Now, listen, what i said before if you want someone who will divide this country, revel in hate and send this country backwards, trump is your guy, you should vote for him. If you want someone who will lead this country in a better more positive direction, that secretary clinton is your candidate. Thats the youre making false accusations of antisemitism and racism, thats what democrats do. Republicans want to move the country forward. Just watch what he says. Hillary clinton should be worried about going to jail not about who her vp is. Gentlemen, thanks for that. Thank you very much. Happy fourth. Happy fourth boris and chris, thanks so much. The conversation continues. Coming up though we have to talk about whats happening breaking out of saudi arabia right now. There have been multiple Suicide Attacks including one near a mosque.

Lets get straight to saudi arabia. Were reporting multiable inging multiable inging multiple explosions. One in qatif, one in medina. All of this on the heels of an explosion near the u. S. Consulate in the city of jeddah. Lets go to nic robertson, cnns International Diplomatic editor. A lot of questions to you, first, just beginning with talk about these three different attacks and do we have a death toll . We have a death toll. There are four Saudi Security officers killed in that attack on their position in medina. We can also add in another attack into that mix. There was a Second Attack that makes a total of four. A Second Attack in the city of qatif after those first two this evening. So that was targeting a Shopping Mall a center poubtsentcenter point Shopping Mall in the city of qatif. What we understand in qatif, both Suicide Attacks there failed because there were no civilian casualties and in medina, the target there was Security Service officers. At least four killed. The death toll may climb and at least one injured that were aware of so far. Brooke . Are they connected, do we know . We know theres been no claim of responsibility but, hey, you have four attacks like this in saudi arabia. Its not quite out of the blue because isis is operating there. Isis has a track record this year of targeting Saudi Security officers targeting government installations. Theyve also targeted in the past shia mosques in saudi arabia so in all likelihood this would appear to be isis. Although they havent claimed responsibility. In the last few years, saudi officials have rounded up and arrested two and a half thousand isis operatives and wannabes inside saudi arabia. They know they have a problem. Theyre dealing with it but when it raises its head like this in four different attacks, that youve got to take seriously, particularly when one of the targets potentially there the u. S. Consulate. Nic robertson on saudi arabia. Lets move along and talk iraq. Isis as nic pointed out, hasnt claimed responsibility in those different attacks there. Its important to note we are coming off three major isis attacks in just this past week. The terror group making good on their pledge to step up their terror tactics during ramadan and as we report on these wave of attacks just over the last week alone you can see in this part of the world where theyve happened. The latest a suicide truck bomb that ripped through a baghdad neighborhood. Listen to this. This is now being called the singledeadliest terror attack in iraq since 2003. All of this coming on the heels of attacks at the istanbul airport and a popular cafe in bangladesh. The death tolls in all three are absolutely devastating. 44 lives lost in istanbul 22 in dhaka and more than 200234 baghdad. Just to show you the scale of that suicide bombing in baghdad, look at what remains, the charred remains here. Cnn flew a drone over the devastation of the entire building. Just absolutely incinerated. Lets take you live to baghdad to the scene of that latest attack. I have Cnn Senior International correspondent ben weeddeman standing by. I know they are still pulling bodies from that rubble. Can you talk me through what happened . Well before we get to that brianna, let me tell you that within the last 45 minutes we heard large thuds coming from the west of baghdad. It turns out there has been a rocket barrage on whats known as camp liberty which was an old u. S. Camp now taken over by the Iraqi Military right next to Baghdad International airport. We dont have any word of casualties or damage but i do know having spoken with someone who just arrived there that flights seem to be still coming in. When the explosion took place late saturday night in the karrada district yes, theyre still pulling bodies and body parts out of the ruins. We were there for about five and a half hours today and there was a con strand stream of small groups of people coming to look for relatives who as far as they could tell disappeared off the face of the earth saturday night. There are so many bodies charred beyond recognition. The last w
