#TrumpHate from the debate: Tell the RNC and GOP leaders to denounce Trump's extremist views and ...
“When Mexico sends its people...They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” — Donald Trump’s Presidential Announcement Speech
Tell Reince Priebus and the Republican Party leadership to commit to No Hate in the Presidential Debate! Demand that he denounce Donald Trump's hateful rhetoric and work to ensure the 2016 GOP Platform does not demonize and criminalize Latinos and immigrants.
Why is this important?
Major corporations, media entities, political figures across the political spectrum, and even Donald Trump's own business partners have denounced his hateful rhetoric towards immigrants and Latinos, but Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, and much of the GOP leadership has not. Left unchecked, hateful public debate creates a hostile environment for all immigrants and Latinos—an environment which can result in tragedy. If GOP leaders do not renounce Trump, they are supporting his hateful agenda.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner, and other GOP leaders and presidential candidates; your support of Donald Trump's hateful agenda and statements targeting Mexicans, immigrants and other Latinos is unacceptable. Hate speech and hateful agendas targeting a group of people—particularly by presidential candidates of major political parties—has real-life consequences. Use your authority and leadership to denounce Trump's extremist views and his hateful rhetoric; and keep hate out of the presidential debate.
