Washington, D.C.—Today, Correct The Record Communications Director Elizabeth Shappell released the following statement on Donald Trump’s rally in Miami, Florida:
“Tonight, Donald Trump once again alluded to violence against Hillary Clinton,” said Elizabeth Shappell, Communications Director for Correct The Record. “This is a truly deplorable comment that betrays our nation’s most fundamental democratic values. For the second time today, Donald Trump has embarrassed not only himself but American democracy. This morning, Trump shamelessly refused to apologize to the American people for five years of racist attacks on President Obama. Tonight, he hinted at violence against a political opponent… again. Trump has unleashed an ugliness and racism in our country that is unprecedented from a major party’s nominee—and that’s why he is utterly disqualified from being our next president.”
