Senator Toomey: Reject Trump's racism
Renounce Donald Trump's racist remarks and declare you won't support him for president.
Why is this important?
Donald Trump has said that Judge Gonzalo Curiel can't fairly consider the fraud case against Trump University because of his Mexican heritage. This outrageous criticism was aimed at Judge Curiel, an Indiana-born, highly esteemed judge who was initially appointed by a Republican governor. And Trump followed up by saying that Muslim judges would also not be suitable to consider a case brought against Trump.
This is the definition of racism. And while Republican leaders like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have expressed their concern, they are still standing by their endorsement of the presumptive Republican nominee.
This week, another Republican Senate candidate, Mark Kirk from Illinois, publicly renounced his support of Donald Trump over these latest racist comments. You can't have it both ways. If you consider Trump's views racist, declare that he's unfit for the presidency—and revoke your endorsement of him, declaring you will not support him in November. If you don't, then you are standing on the side of racism.
