“Frozen” actress Kristen Bell took Donald Trump to task over his tweet comparing a star on a “Frozen” sticker book to the star he had tweeted the previous weekend that many believed resembled a Star of David.
Bell, who voiced Anna in Disney’s smash animated musical, told Trump on Thursday to “zip it” and focus on the big issues facing the country, mainly the shooting deaths of two black men by police officers in Baton Rouge, La., and Falcon Point, Minn.

On Saturday, Trump tweeted out an image of “Crooked Hillary” Clinton superimposed onto a pile of money with a red star that he has since said was a sheriff’s badge, but many believed resembled the Jewish Star of David and thus sent out an anti-Semitic message combined with the money imagery.
He eventually deleted that tweet and replaced it with one that had a red circle instead of the star.

Trump brushed off cries of anti-Semitism at a campaign rally in Cincinnati on Wednesday, blaming the media for “racially profiling” by connecting the star to Judaism.
The same day, he took a jab at the “dishonest media” on Twitter by posting an image of a “Frozen” sticker book with a similar star on it.
Where is the outrage for this Disney book? Is this the ‘Star of David’ also?

A day before Bell’s tweet, “Frozen” co-star Josh Gad, who voiced the snowman Olaf, compared Trump using “Frozen” to illustrate his point to “Pablo Escobar using gummy vitamins 2 prove that not all drugs r bad.”

Bell has spent a lot of time on Twitter over the last two days tweeting about politics, the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile and the sniper in Dallas who killed five police officers, wounded seven others and hurt two civilians.
