CNN’s Sciutto: It’s Not a Dog Whistle by Trump, It’s a ‘Bull Horn’ When He Demonizes Immigrants

‘There’s really no dog whistle here’

EXCERPT:

SCIUTTO: "I know you’ve been critical of what you call the President’s anti-immigration agenda. When you read these tweets and the language that the President uses about immigrants, demonizing immigrants. I would say dog whistle but there’s really no dog whistle here because it’s like a bull horn. How concerned are you about this rhetoric in this environment?"
ESPAILLAT: "This rhetoric, it’s not only inflammatory, but I think thank God for the courts. Had it not been for the courts, we'd probably have 800,000 young people and their parents go underground. Is this what this nation has gotten to, where close to a million young people that are members of our armed forces, they’re teachers, they work, they go to school, and their parents have to go underground because they feel there’s a massive deportation machine that is going to go in the middle of the night and snatch them out of their beds? I think it’s very fearful and I don’t think that speaks very well for America."
