A cartoonist condemned for a “blatantly antisemitic” illustration showing Jews controlling high ranking American security officials has been invited to the White House by Donald Trump to take part in a social media summit.

Ben Garrison, a far-right cartoonist whose drawings are extremely popular among Trump supporters and the alt-right, posted a picture on social media of his invitation to the White House this Thursday for the summit, tweeting that he was “honoured to be invited”.

In 2017, Mr Garrison, who describes his cartoons as “politically incorrect”, published a picture showing the former director of the CIA and senior general, David Petraeus, and the then National Security Adviser, H.R McMaster, as puppets.

Above them, George Soros, a Jewish Hungarian billionaire, can be seen making them dance to his strings, while Mr Soros, also drawn as a puppet, is himself manipulated by a hand marked “Rothschilds”.
