Trump’s proposal to keep Muslims out of the USA has been met with outrage from members of both parties.
Trump, who has called for monitoring mosques and even barring Muslims from entering the United States, has been the clear beneficiary of this moment of deep anxiety.
“They don’t deserve the hateful speech Mr. Trump and others are spewing”, Hempen said. These voters heavily favour Trump. Clinton said that now that Trump has crossed that line, she thinks everybody and “especially Republicans” need to stand up to Trump and say “Enough, we’ve gone too far, that’s not who we are”. Although he had said he would go ahead with the December 28 meeting, he stressed that it did not amount to an endorsement of Trump.
The endorsement from the New England Police Benevolent Association comes as Trump remains under scrutiny for his call to ban Muslims from entering the United States “until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on”.
The 69-year-old claimed he has “respect for the Muslim people and have great friendships with many Muslims, some of whom I do business with”.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Trump’s proposal ban should disqualify him from the presidency, deriding him as a “carnival barker” with “fake hair” whose campaign belonged in the “dustbin of history”.
There’s an urban-rural divide, too: Just 13% of urban respondents and 27% of suburban respondents back Trump’s plan, compared with 41% of rural Americans. In a statement on YouTube, Anonymous said it is focusing its efforts on Trump due to his deeply bigoted rhetoric against Latinos and Muslims.
