'Hate Cannot Be the New Normal': Teachers, Working People in Unions, Faith and Civil Rights Leaders Urge President-Elect Trump to Condemn Hate Speech

As the number of hate-related incidents has been escalating in the recent days following the 2016 election campaign marked by the extreme and hateful rhetoric of Donald Trump, working people in unions are calling on the president-elect to take a stand. During his acceptance speech, Trump said he would work to unite all working people.

Working people are demanding that Trump commit to representing all of America’s people by "loudly, forcefully, unequivocally and consistently denouncing these acts and the ideology that drives them."

If the liberals don’t like hate speech, they should stop using it.

I doubt that will happen; they thrive on hate.

Hate dominates the ranks of academia. Hatred of God, hatred of America, hatred of liberty.

And the hate has been there for decades.

If “Hate Cannot Be the New Normal”... tell your fellow insane democrats to stop blocking roads, stop beating up Trump supporters and stop threatening the Electoral College representatives.

New normal is the Two Minute Hate For Trump.

Since the election, that’s been a daily occurrence.

Its hilarious the AFL-CIO is concerned about hate.

The only problem with it its the Left that’s propagating it.

Don’t expect them to address it.

“If the liberals don’t like hate speech, they should stop using it.”

What about the “white privilege” syndrome? BLM is a conciliatory equal rights group? The killing of numerous police from ambush was an expression of love?

Who is this idiot?? He claims “WORKING PEOPLE” are demanding. Hasn’t he figured out you that it was the votes of “WORKING PEOPLE” who are sending Trump to “drain the swamp?”
All he is doing is proving how correct the “WORKING PEOPLE” were when they cast their votes.
I will admit, though, WORKING PEOPLE are demanding something, and quite vehimentally.
They demand that Trump “MAKES AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

For eight years and counting it has been the new normal.

Why the incontinence now?

Sure seems to be a lot of hate from the poeple rioting and destroying property protesting the election.

After 8 years of Obama I don’t blame them for looking for some help.

Hate has been the new normal ever since Obama was elected.

It's absolutely Orwellian, how Obama as the alleged apotheosis of racial unity, love and "hope," has fostered more racial division, hate and despair than anyone in modern American history.
