Washington, D.C.–Tonight, Correct The Record President Brad Woodhouse released the following statement on Donald Trump’s rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa:
“Tonight, Donald Trump’s divisive, bigoted campaign hit a new low. In the latest sign of the Alt-Right’s ugly influence, Trump started his rally by singling out non-Christians in the crowd. This type of profiling is shocking and unprecedented. There is no place for this type of divisive rhetoric in American politics.”
TRANSCRIPT OF TRUMP’S BIGOTED REMARKS ON RELIGION:
TRUMP: “Raise your hand, Christian conservatives, everybody. Raise your hand if you’re not a Christian conservative. I want to see this, right? That’s – ah there’s a couple people, that’s alright. I think we’ll keep them, right? Should we keep them in the room? Yes? I think so.”
