Re: “, ” June 8 news story.
Donald Trump has been fighting back the tide of his racially fueled comments about an Indiana-born judge being inherently unable to sit in judgment of his failed Trump University’s practices because of the judge’s Mexican heritage.
Now Trump is claiming his comments were misconstrued by the media, his own party’s leadership, and apparently everyone who heard his spiteful emphasis of the word “Mexican” when referring to a well-respected federal judge of Hispanic descent. His comments were — as House Speaker Paul Ryan said — “racist.”
As voters, we should be very careful not to allow Trump a pass on this issue. If we do, we will be condoning the same behavior the Chinese government used when they claimed the protests in Tiananmen Square never happened. That would indeed spell our doom.
