Trump’s racism was on display, who will condemn it?

The staggering silence by Republicans to the racist tweets that spewed forth from the president over the weekend is unconscionable.

What conclusion is a person to draw, that the entire Republican party is racist?

Surely even in our most heated debates about what’s the best course of action for our country, we shouldn’t stoop to demanding those that disagree with us should find a new home.

That in order for you to be an American you must be lock-step with one ideology or the other, these are dangerous waters for our democracy.

Clearly these comments are evil, and by extension so must be this president. We can cannot and should not stay silent when someone bandies about so carelessly

To quote Edmund Burke,“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Laszlo F. Soos, Littleton

Once again the president makes inflammatory racist remarks and attacks people of color. Yes, Donald Trump is pandering to his lunatic fringe who also hold racist views and encourages them to believe that people of color are a threat to white America.

The headline of the story should have been, “Trump stokes racist fears of Dem women of color.” This president relies upon creating a politics of fear to energize his base, not because he is stupid, but because he knows that fear overwhelms reason.

And his racist attacks are, as usual, based upon lies and blatant distortion of reality. Racism, misogyny and xenophobia should not be the defining character of our national leader. All Americans, as well as the GOP, need to speak out against this travesty that is our president. Ralph Roberts, Littleton
