Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman condemned presumed GOP nominee Donald Trump Wednesday, and accused the “reckless” billionaire of being unfit to run for president.
“In this week alone, Donald Trump has jeopardized relations with a close ally before setting foot overseas; talked about building a relationship with a reckless dictator; called two diverse American cities more dangerous than war zones like Iraq,” said John Podesta, “and released a list of suggested Supreme Court nominees that includes no people of color, but does include a judge who upheld a law requiring doctors to use scare tactics to impede reproductive rights and another judge who equated homosexual sex to ’bestiality,’ ’pedophilia’ and ’necrophilia.'”
The campaign chief’s remarks made no mention of the fact that Merrick Garland, President Obama’s nominee to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, is also white.
“At this point,” Podesta continued, “it’s hard to keep up with the myriad reasons Trump should not be president, but the divisive policies and nominees, reckless and uninformed foreign policy positions and offensive views of Americans are just a few. Any one of these things would be troubling.”
“All of them together, in just a few days, is further proof that Donald Trump is a risk we can’t afford,” he added.
