Donald Trump retweets apparent neo-Nazi post mocking Jeb Bush
Donald Trump on Friday retweeted a post from a white nationalist's Twitter account that mocked former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
The tweet contains a photoshopped image of Bush outside of Trump Tower holding a "vote for Trump" sign.
"@WhiteGenocideTM: @realDonaldTrump Poor Jeb. I could've sworn I saw him outside Trump Tower the other day! pic.twitter.com/e5uLRubqla"

A person with the Twitter handle @WhiteGenocideTM tweeted the image at Trump after the presidential candidate tweeted that Bush is "at the bottom of the barrel in polls" after spending $89 million.
After spending $89 million, @JebBush is at the bottom of the barrel in polls. He is ashamed to use the name "Bush" in ads. Low energy guy!

The @WhiteGenocideTM Twitter account contains a banner that says, "Get the f*ck out of my country." The location for the account says "Jewmerica" and it contains a link to a website that says Adolf Hitler across the top.
A number of Bush campaign aides lambasted Trump for retweeting that account. Kristy Campbell, national press secretary for the campaign, tweeted that it was Trump's "latest classy tweet attack." Another communications aide, Allie Brandenburger, tweeted "Stay classy, Trump."
