Donald Trump is a bigot, there's no other way to get around it," Blow said.



Via Mother Jones:

Donald Trump is a bigot, there's no other way to get around it," Blow said. "Anybody who accepts that, supports it. Anybody supports it is promoting it and that makes you a part of the bigotry itself. You have to decide whether or not you want to be part of the bigotry that is Donald Trump. You have to decide whether you want to be part of the sexism and misogyny that is Donald Trump."

Levell responded by accusing Hillary Clinton's campaign of creating the "false facade" that Trump is a racist.

"I'm not part of the Clinton campaign," Blow interjected. "I'm a black man in America and I know a bigot when I see a bigot."

someone who tells it like it is...mind boggling that a black person could support Trump, actually, mind boggling that he could support the republican party at all.

still independently evaluate everything the POS says and make an honest determination of whether or not he is, in fact, a bigot. What are you, the guy he pointed out at a rally and told everyone you were "his" African American?
