On Wednesday, GQ published a profile of Melania Trump penned by the journalist Julia Ioffe. Since then, Ioffe has been harassed by Trump supporters sending her anti-Semitic threats like photoshopped images of her wearing a Jude star, and others referencing the Holocaust.

Soon after it was published, Melania Trump released a statement on Facebook expressing her displeasure over the piece. “The article published in GQ today is yet another example of the dishonest media and their disingenuous reporting,” she wrote, adding, “Julia Ioffe, a journalist who is looking to make a name for herself, clearly had an agenda when going after my family.”

Trump supporters were quick to respond, and Ioffe quickly started receiving hateful messages and threatening calls.

2. But, But Wait Trump is Not Winning Due to Racism

Many people keep telling me Donald Trump is winning in this election not because of racism, but because of his populist message. So, why are his supporters sending anti-semitic messages to the author of the profile. Why are they not sending her messages that are anti-income inequality, anti-wealth inequality, and/or anti-free trade deal?

This response is more proof that Donald Trump is not winning due to a populist message, but due to a racist message that comes partly because their is a black men currently in the White House. If not for his racist message Donald Trump would have been out of the running for the Republican Presidential nomination months ago.

Wonder if it is the same posters who do it under various guises?
