Martin Rowson’s Guardian cartoon uses the 250-year anniversary of US independence to critique Donald Trump, delivering a pointed political illustration about Trump’s role and American identity.
The Guardian has removed and apologized for a cartoon by Martin Rowson depicting outgoing BBC Chairman Richard Sharp, which was accused of evoking anti-Semitic tropes. The cartoon featured a grinning caricature of Sharp, who is Jewish, with an enlarged nose and carrying a Goldman Sachs office box, apparently stuffed with gold and a squid. The Guardian apologized to Mr. Sharp, the Jewish community, and anyone offended, while Rowson apologized for his "carelessness and thoughtlessness."
