Lucy Caldwell: ‘Violently Offensive’ for Trump to Say Black Men Will Embrace Him Because of His Mugshot

EXCERPT:

CALDWELL: "Well, sure. I mean, I think that it’s important to realize here that — that Donald Trump and Joe Biden in that match-up, we don’t know how it’s going to play out. There the have been a lot of hand-wringing on both sides, but there are a lot of indications including this Quinnipiac poll that came out this week, that Joe Biden is in a pretty good situation. And as we near the general election, one of the things that we’re going to see is that it's going to hit voters in the face that this is going to be a match-up between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Donald Trump continues to be himself. He’s out saying egregious things all the time. This week Donald Trump said that black people are going to embrace him because they love his mugshot. That is so violently offensive. So we’re going to see more more of a contrast between two old guys.”
