DCCC Statement: House GOP Accountable for Trump’s Racist Commentary

Please consider the statement below regarding Donald Trump’s continued, and now expanding, view that a person might be less capable or qualified to do their job based on their heritage, race or religion:

When questioned today whether his statements and attitudes towards Judge Curiel were racist, Donald Trump doubled down. He even went a step further, suggesting ‘it’s possible, yes’ that a Muslim-American judge would also be biased in their important work, due to their heritage. We’ve already seen Speaker Paul Ryan be forced to answer for his Party’s frontrunner and his racist commentary, and in the weeks ahead every House Republican must do the same,” Meredith  Kelly of the DCCC.
