Social media users responded with the hashtag #HateWorks, calling the patch anti-Semitic and "disgusting." The original Instagram post had thousands of comments before being taken down.

A Tennessee hat seller removed an Instagram post after fueling social media controversy selling a patch that looks like the Jewish Star of David.
