NY AG Letitia James: Donald Trump Represents ‘Sincere Ignorance and Conscientious Stupidity’

EXCERPT:

JAMES: “Again, I apologize. Listen, 57 years after the assassination of Dr. King, and Dr. King talked about that stone of hope, and it’s that stone of hope that gives me a fire in my Belly each and every morning. It’s that stone of hope that allows me to wake up and to stand to Donald Trump and to say, Donald Trump, I’m not afraid of you. It’s that stone of hope — (applause) — it’s that stone of hope that gives me power, that stone of hope and the belief in each and every one of you to let you know that I’m not going to allow my ancestors, all of those who died for me to be in this position, I am not going to disgrace them and disappoint them. I am going to use the law both as a sword and as a shield, and challenge Donald Trump. And each and every time he issues an executive, an illegal executive order, I am going to stand up to him because he represents, to me, sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. (cheers and applause) Sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. And so, DEI, as far as I am concerned, is more than about just black people. Let’s be honest.”
