A 'comedian' on Twitter has taken credit for creating the controversial graphic that included a Jewish Star of David, which was used by Donald Trump to attack Democratic rival Hillary Clinton on Twitter.

Trump came under fire this weekend for sending out the tweet accusing Clinton of being the 'most corrupt candidate ever,' alongside what appears to be a Star of David and $100 bills.

A Twitter user by the name of @FishBoneHead1 tweeted at the Hill Newspaper, which is covering the controversy, showing journalists there the 'original file,' which he tweeted out starting on June 15.

Twitter user FishBoneHead1 originally tweeted the image on June 15, which Donald Trump than tweeted out Saturday morning

In communication with the Hill newspaper, FishBoneHead1 took credit for the 'original file,' which included a controversial use for the Jewish Star of David

The billionaire businessman tweeted the graphic Saturday morning at 8:47 a.m., but deleted it about two hours later, replacing it with a photo-shopped version of the meme with a circle in the star's place

Donald Trump sent out two versions of the image - one with a Star of David (left) and one with a circle (right) after the original image started getting panned by critics

The Trump version went out Saturday morning at 8.47 a.m. with the message 'Crooked Hillary -- Makes History!' and also included a Fox News poll that found 58 per cent of voters believe that the former secretary of state is 'corrupt.'

It's juxtaposed against a black and white image of Clinton with a riff from her own presidential campaign statement about how she would make history as the first female nominee of a major political party.

Then there's the red Star of David emblazoned with the words, 'most corrupt candidate ever!'

Behind Clinton's photo there are $100 bills scattered around in piles.

About two hours after putting the post up, the real estate mogul sent out another tweet that replaced the Star of David with a circle, though used the same text.

Trump deleted the original post, though opened himself up to controversy and charges of antisemitism, with the implication that Clinton's fundraising comes from corrupt Jews.

As for the origin of the image, FishBoneHead1 describes himself as a 'comedian' who will 'probably offend you if you are Liberal, Politically Correct, Feminist, Democrat or Piers Morgan.'

The comedian's Twitterfeed is filled with controversial imagery including a cartoon of a blonde woman welcoming Muslim refugees – who then gets her head cut off.

The Twitter user who created the Star of David graphic rails against political correctness and suggests Americans should be more wary of 'Islamists'

FishBoneHead1 portrayed the Democrats as whining babies for holding a sit-in in the aftermath of the Orlando terror attack. The comedian suggested in another tweet that Americans should blame radical Islam over guns

The Twitter user also suggested that President Obama was elected thanks to 'liberal white guilt' and brought up the president' Nobel Peace Prize win as well

In another tweet the user shows the House Democrats during their sit-in, with cartoonish words over the group saying 'Waaah! Waaah!'

In another, there's a photo of President Obama speaking to a packed crowd. 'Liberal White Guilt,' the tweet reads. 'Can get you a Presidency and a Nobel Prize even when you are a total failure.'

Other tweets bring up Bill Clinton's infidelity and mock Democrats for suggesting that hatred of gay Americans and guns were bigger issues in the Orlando shooting than gunman Omar Mateen's pledge to fight for ISIS.

'Fight liberal stupidity,' that tweet advises.

After its creation, FishBoneHead1's graphic was then shared on /pol/, according to Mic.com, the 'politically incorrect' 4chan discussion board that attracts dialogue from neo-Nazis, anti-semites and white supremacists.

The image appeared there as early as June 22, but has since been deleted.

Later Sunday afternoon, FishBoneHead1 deleted his or her Twitter account.

The campaign generally attributes images used by Trump's Twitter account, but did not to so for this particular meme.

The fallout for posting the Star of David version was quick.

A communications staffer for Clinton's campaign, Josh Schwerin, tweeted and asked why a Star of David was used on the image.

Political columnist Ana Marie Cox wrote the 'Symbolism here is pretty... unsubtle.'

Trump has not released a statement about the now-deleted tweet about the former New York senator.

Trump's former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, defended him on CNN on Sunday.

'A tweet is a simple tweet, and the bottom line is you can read into things that aren't there,' Lewandowski, who was recently hired by CNN as a contributor, said.

'This is a simple star ... it's the same star that sheriff's departments across the country use all over the place to represent law enforcement.

'To read into something that isn't there is... I think that's the mainstream media trying to attack Donald Trump for something that really isn't there.'

He added that the Trump campaign put a new tweet up with a circle, but said that Clinton is corrupt.

When Lewandowski was pressed about why the campaign would release an updated version of the graphic without the star, he deflected and said the criticisms were 'political correctness run amok.'

For years, Trump has been known for using his Twitter account that has more than nine million followers to insult and attack his rivals.

And during this intense presidential campaign Trump has received criticism for retweeting others including messages from white supremacists.

In addition, the presumptive Republican nominee has fought accusations in the past of anti-Semitism and racism.

In March, while speaking to the largest pro-Israel lobby in the United States, AIPAC, Trump declared his love for Jewish people and Israel.

'I love the people in this room,' Trump told AIPAC attendees. 'I love Israel. I've been with Israel so long in terms of - I've received some of my greatest honors from Israel.

'My father before me. Incredible. My daughter Ivanka, is about to have a beautiful Jewish baby.

'In fact, it could be happening right now, which would be very nice as far as I'm concerned.'

During a CNN debate, Trump also said: 'I have a lot of – I have tremendous love for Israel. I happen to have a son-in-law and a daughter that are Jewish, OK? And two grandchildren that are Jewish.'
