| NAACP president on Trump's rhetoric: “This is hateful; this is racist” | |
| Cornell Williams Brooks, president and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), didn’t mince words in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer about the impact of billionaire Republican frontrunner Donald Trump’s rhetoric on the tone of the 2016 presidential campaign. | |
| “This is hateful; this is racist,” Brooks said, calling Trump’s past comments about Barack Obama “morally silly and politically dangerous.” | |
| “We need to begin to think about the american people and begin to understand that they’re the central characters in this narrate,” Brooks said, calling Trump’s candidacy “a sideshow.” | |
| “Stop engaging in the politics of demagoguery,” Brooks told Trump. Every time Trump engages in what Brooks characterized as un-American rhetoric, “his poll numbers go up, his votes go up, but the fact of the matter is, those votes are being extracted from who we are as a country.” | |
