Hate is a weakness of the weakest Minds

You are judged by the company you keep!

[berniecasey]

Al Sharpton can NEVER call anyone racist

[skyehawke]

Hate crime out in the open…….enough to throw him in jail.

[trishjackson]

This is criminal behavior..my God! What's wrong with America's legal system?

[tcandrews]

The hateful rhetoric is indeed dangerous.

[glbnuvb]

When will the Department of Civil Rights, the Department of Justice, the Attorney General, and Congressional leadership address this issue? Hate crimes are against the law.

[alanmorris]

There is something seriously wrong with Trump's mind.

[edwinbaez]

There is no way this man can return to the White House. Otherwise this nation could go down in ashes. 😢😢😢. God Have Mercy. Independent voter's who has any common sense wouldn't vote for this dude. That includes serious conservative republicans.

Seeing that the law won't tell the Republicans to cease and desist their racist comments then its up to the American People come Nov.5th to tell to cease and desist

[moniquedoreus]

In 2016, Haitians had voted Trump in to the White House. I hope they are taking notice and making sure they send him to jail instead.

Trump supporters either believe his rhetoric or they are just like him. It's sad because we all know who they are and it's almost impossible to be around them.

[MariaGonzalez-vvxk]

President Biden needs to give an speech about this .

[spaceballs]

I’m glad he isn’t doing another debate. He stirs up hate and violence and racism and makes accusations of boys that committed a horrendous crime that they didn't do.

There should be a civil lawsuit filed as a result of this notorious and slanderous statements against our Haitian brothers and sisters, by Donald Trump. God is not a respect or of persons regardless of their race. Jesus loves everybody
How can he relate to himself as an evangelical Christian. This is not in line with Christian values.

[truthmatters]

Never let a man imagine that he can pursue a good end by useing evil means, without sinning against his own soul. The evil effect on his soul is certain.”

I wish there would be an attorney who will start a class action against trump for causing chaos in the American life. In our lives.

[ChristopherWright-oi]

I agree any one who votes for d trump thinks the way he think
