He should have blamed Russian Hackers, not Twitter bots.

Daily Mail:

John Cusack has claimed that a ‘bot’ is to blame for an anti-Semitic tweet that was shared on his Twitter account on Monday.

The tweet in question showed a hand with a Star of David pushing people down with the caption ‘follow the money’.

It was accompanied by a Voltaire quote that reads: ‘To learn who rules over you simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.’

Below the quote are the words: ‘Is it not obvious?’

The actor was immediately blasted on social media shortly after the tweet was shared.

‘A bot got me,’ Cusack tweeted. ‘I thought I was endorsing a pro Palestinian justice retweet – of an earlier post – it came I think from a different source – Shouldn’t Have retweeted.’

The tweet has since been deleted but journalist, Yashar Ali slammed Cusack on Twitter.

Ali also noted that Cusack had ‘defended’ the post in several quote tweets before deleting it.
