Trump campaign gets caught using Nazi-era prisoner symbolism in anti-antifa ads
Facebook pulled Trump campaign ads after the campaign used an inverted red triangle in anti-antifa messaging. The campaign insisted the symbol was an antifa marker; critics pointed out it was also used by the Nazis to identify political prisoners. The result was another Trump-world self-own: a culture-war ad meant to scare voters that instead dragged the campaign into an ugly, avoidable symbolism scandal.
