Beto: ‘What We Saw in N. Carolina ... Was Almost an Impromptu Nuremberg Rally’

EXCERPT:

O'ROURKE: "Yes, President Trump is a racist. What we saw in North Carolina last week was almost an impromptu Nuremberg rally inciting hatred and ultimately, I think, implicit in that is violence against people based on the color of their skin, based on their religion, based on their difference from the majority of Americans. And it is in keeping with the President, who describes Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals, who describes asylum seekers as animals or an infestation, who says that Klansmen are very fine people. It's very clear the path that he is taking us on and we either willingly submit to that, we are complicit in our silence, or we stand up against it and then also stand for what we know this country can be. And that's what I'm trying to do, that's what the people who are part of this campaign are trying to do at this moment of truth. Silence, especially from members of Congress, who hold the position of public trust and power, silence is complicity in what the President is doing and there will be an accounting, there will be a reckoning, there will be justice for this sooner or later."
