00:00It gives me no pleasure to tell you that we now have a president of the United States who is a racist.
00:10And we have a president intentionally, purposely is trying to divide us up by the color of
00:32our skin, by our gender, by the country we came from, by our religion.
00:55Do you believe President Trump is a racist?
00:57Yeah.
00:58No question.
00:59How can you say that?
01:00You had some very bad people in that group.
01:03But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides.
01:09But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay?
01:15And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.
01:30It's only aggressive because in our country we have so refrained from calling out racism
01:36for what it is.
01:37I can say that the legal defense fund, the organization I lead, we sued the president
01:43challenging his election protection commission that he created when he first came into office.
01:47And we sued him on the grounds that it was intentionally discriminatory.
01:52We sued the decision to rescind TPS status from Haitians.
01:55And we have charged racial discrimination.
01:57So I don't feel that this is the last candidate who's going to say that.
02:02I do think in this country we refrain from using that word, but we should understand
02:06that calling someone racist is not worse than people actually being racist.
