Trump Draws Rebuke for Pushing Racial Message

“Donald Trump, whose campaign for president has crashed through one barrier after another, has again moved his candidacy into highly questionable territory, threatening to stir more racial animosity in an already divided country and putting at risk his party’s relationship with the nation’s fastest-growing minority group,” the Washington Post reports.

“Politicians and others across the ideological spectrum have rebuked Trump in the past for ‘dog whistle’ politics, or worse. In this case, the condemnations have been swift and cutting, as Republican leaders scramble to protect their party against charges that their presumptive presidential nominee is engaging in a racist attack against a sitting judge.”
