Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has donated $56,000 to the Anti-Defamation League, an organization that fights prejudice against Jewish people. That's the same Trump who has invoked the Nazi salute when asking supporters to pledge their allegiance to him, an action a former league director was quick to criticize.

To show the league doesn't support Trump's blatant discrimination against several minority groups, they're redirecting his donations to a national anti-bullying campaign they run called No Place for Hate, Politico reports.
