Spicer: Hate Crimes Should Be Called out in Every Way

‘I will say that the president has recognized that we need to bring the country together’

EXCERPT:

SPICER: "Number one, I think hate crimes, anti-Semitic crimes of any nature should be called out in the most reprehensible way. There is no room for that in our country and I think the President noted that in the joint address, that there is one issue that despite policy should unite us and that is calling out hate, that is calling out divisiveness based on the color of one’s skin, one's religion, one’s gender. The President has been very clear on that and he's called it out before with respect to certain particular situations. He made it very clear at the opening of his joint address, that’s what he led with, is a call to denounce hate, no matter where we come from politically. He’s also talked about it the night that he took the stage on that Wednesday morning around 2:40 A.M. about how one of the things that he needed to do and wanted to do as president was unite all Americans."
