The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Sunday condemned Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump’s recent remarks about immigrants as “hate speech” and stereotyping, and called on him to stop spreading misinformation and fomenting hatred against immigrants.
“Donald Trump’s hate speech against immigrants is highly inappropriate and we join with the voices of many others around the country who have condemned his offensive remarks,” retiring ADl national director Abe Foxman said in a statement. “It is time for Trump to stop spreading misinformation and hatred against immigrants, legal and illegal.”
Trump’s use of inflammatory language when talking about immigrants has drawn condemnation from across the aisle.
All major Republican presidential candidates have called Trump out from his decisive and offensive comments.
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush offered his most aggressive comments so far on the real estate mogul on Saturday. “This is a guy who was a Democrat for most of the last decade. I don’t think he represents the Republican Party, and his views are way out of the mainstream of what most Republicans think,” Bush told reporters after an Independence Day parade in Merrimack, New Hampshire, according to The New York Times.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz was the only presidential hopeful to ‘salute’ Trump for his comments. “I salute Donald Trump for focusing on the need to address illegal immigration,” Cruz said on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday morning. “The Washington cartel doesn’t want to address that. The Washington cartel doesn’t believe we need to secure the borders. The Washington cartel supports amnesty and I think amnesty’s wrong, and I salute Donald Trump for focusing on it. He has a colorful way of speaking. It’s not the way I speak, but I’m not going to engage in the media’s game of throwing rocks and attacking other Republicans. I’m just not going to do it.”
Candidates calling out trump have all gotten mockery tweets by Trump.
Indeed
I’m waiting for an opinion from Quanell X.
Awesome, the more these radical groups all jump in, the more the CENTRAL problem of the United States is being recognized. The illegal immigrants are coming here and corrupting the values by which we have lived for over 200 years. They do not share our religion, our mindset, our discipline and therefore our values. They have come from countries that are complete cultural cesspools and are turning OUR nation into the same quagmire. Stop it now and deport the illegals who are here. Now. Then next, anyone practicing Islam must also leave. No choice.
The fellow in charge of the ADL means well but he’s made a number of poor judgement calls over these past several years, including a noticable failure to help some person(s) who are the victims of antiSemitism ...
not the organization it was intended to be....
...I guess we know who controls the ADL now (not that we didn’t before). I wonder the fact that JEWS are also being killed and maimed by Illegals bothers them...as if I didn’t know.
You draw the most flak when you are over the target.
“Awesome, the more these radical groups all jump in, the more the CENTRAL problem of the United States is being recognized.”
Right. And we couldn’t have done it better if we tried.
Truth will increasingly be labelled as hate speech.
The only question I have is whether Trump will run for a 2nd term?
Whatever else you have to say about The Donald, you have to admit that he has all the right enemies.
They got the crap sued out of them for over a mil a few yrs. ago-They are a 1A HATE GROUP infiltrating our schools via the states anti-bully laws-they also tag team with the GLBT agenda. I hope Trump sends them a tweet!
Yes. Very encouraging.
NOT “immigrants”; ILLEGAL INVADERS!
That “Washington cartel” name is pure genius, Cruz and Trump need to run with that, it’s such an apt description.
I wonder if they would think the same way if a group of ISIS members snuck into the country and slaughtered a 100 or so Jews in a Synagogue. Oh wait a minute, that's right...ISIS is already IN the country! ADL = credibility ZERO. NEXT....
The cheap labor, anti US citizen crowd is lining up in a row.
Like moths to a flame.
All the usual suspects piling on.
ADL= Arseholes Demeaning Liberty
