Jorge Ramos: Trump’s Making Racism Normal

‘And by defending someone who has been accused of racist behavior — ‘

RUSH EXCERPT:
RAMOS: "And let me just say something about President Trump because I think that if President Trump wanted to distance himself from racism, he had a great opportunity and he just didn’t use it. Not only he pardoned Arpaio but this happened after he refused for two days to condemn by name the KKK, this happened after he equated white supremacists with those marching against racism. This happened after he called very fine people those who decided to march with neo-Nazis and after that, he pardoned Arpaio. What I’m really concerned, Jake, really, really concerned is that with these actions, President Trump is making racism something normal. And by defending someone who has been accused of racist behavior, like Arpaio, he is telling everybody in the United States, you know, it is OK. It is OK. Racism is OK in this country. And I’m really disturbed and concerned about that."
