“This is a time when there is poisonous speech in national politics, and we need to stand on behalf of the values the city loves”, Mayor Charlie Hales said. She said you didn’t want to be “ripped apart” and you wanted to be reassured I wouldn’t “go after you”.

Following Trump’s declaration to ban Muslim immigrants from entering the United States, CNN’s Chris Cuomo got heated during an interview and called the plan “stupid”. They also placed many that were here in internment camps, but no one is suggesting that, not even Donald Trump.
“Presidential candidates have the right to say dumb things, and we have the right to censor them for it, so this just makes it clearer for that change”, Commissioner Nick Fish said. “I’ve gotten so many threats, racist letters, telling me to ‘go back to my country and eat rice.’ People like Donald Trump, who preach hate, are very American… and I’m somehow un-American?”
Moore also published a picture of himself in front of Trump Tower in NY with the caption “We are all Muslim”.
Moore closed his letter, asking Trump to “deal with it”, and encouraged people to use the hashtag, “We Are All Muslim” and sign a statement proclaiming the same. His words fit well with other GOP candidates who have proposed tighter restrictions on refugees and tighter surveillance in the U.S. It not only opens with his recollection of his 1998 television green room meeting with Trump where he had to supposedly calm the billionaire and assure that he wasn’t going to “pick on” him – a remarkable story that reads like a fourth-grade nerd’s fantasy win over his real-life bully. Honestly, we give this one to Moore.
During the debate Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican candidate who has been tipped as Trump’s running mate, called for the USA to “carpet bomb” Isis territory and find out whether “sand can glow in the dark”.
“I was raised to believe that we are all each other’s brother and sister, regardless of race, creed, or color”, Moore wrote. But he said: “People like what I say”.
The prime minister added that, while he was “proud” of leading a nation that is “one of the most successful multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-faith countries in the world”, he disagreed with recent calls to ban Trump from the country.
Continuing to dig in, Bush said Saturday it’s “deeply discouraging” that Trump is “actually running for president and insulting people”.

Remaining defiant, Trump replied with a rhetorical question: “So they can kill us, but we can’t kill them?”
