Trump ‘Clearly’ A Racist: Libertarian Nominee
MEP: Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson told media on Monday that Donald Trump is “clearly” a racist.
Trump in an interview last week said that US District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, the son of Mexican immigrants, was biased against him in lawsuits involving fraud allegations against Trump University, the billionaire’s real estate training school.
“The latest comments on the Hispanic judge — nothing short of racist,” Johnson said.
Trump was asked by The Hill newspaper Monday if he believes Trump is racist, Johnson, who served two terms as governor of New Mexico, responded: “Clearly. Clearly. These are incendiary comments to me as a former governor of a state that’s one of the four majority-minority states in the country.”
Trump claimed that the judge’s Mexican heritage had influenced his opinion because of the presumptive Republican nominee’s plan to build a wall on the US-Mexico border after winning the presidential elections.
The Libertarian politician said he’s “absolutely” fearful over the idea of Trump winning the White House.
“Donald Trump has said 100 things in this campaign that would disqualify any other candidate, and if you turn the page tomorrow it will be 104 things,” he said.
“He’s going to ban Muslims from coming into the country. He’s all for free trade, but in the next sentence will force Apple to make their iPads and iPhones in the US He’s going to apply a 35 percent tariff to imported goods. Who will end up paying for that? You and I,” he said.
