From the July 5 edition of CNN's CNN Tonight with Don Lemon:

DON LEMON (HOST): Hillary Clinton was interviewed for three hours at the FBI but all anyone is talking about is this controversy -- the tweets, right, with Donald Trump and they're talking about this star. So there is the star. They think it was the Holocaust star and there was anti-Semitism and it was changed to the circle. So when you’re saying they always have to apologize? 

KELLYANNE CONWAY: No you asked me about the other Trump people sometimes that were on with me.

LEMON: Did you apologize for this?

CONWAY: So what the man who tweeted it has said is he is married to a Jewish woman and that of course nobody intended any type of anti-Semitic references and that they changed it right away. But I do like what you said about how Hillary Clinton spent her weekend. Three hours with the FBI and --

LEMON: Yes, yes, yes. We're going to get to that, we're going to get to that. But this star that was changed to a circle so -- and they said it was a sheriff's star. It's not the sheriff's star. The sheriff's star has little circles on the end that looks like a sheriff's star, it's very obvious. This looks like the Jewish, the Holocaust star, and to say it's not the Holocaust star is just not the truth.

 

[...]

That's not ignorance and stupidity to tweet that and all of a sudden claim that's it’s not the star? That is the same thing. It's ignorant and it's stupid to tweet that, from which is an anti-Semitic, from a meme -- from an anti-Jewish site, from a hate site.
