Julian Castro Blasts 'Coward' Donald Trump Jr. Over 'Disgusting' Racist Attack on Kamala Harris
By Tommy Christopher June 30th
-snip-
On Sunday mornings edition of CNNs State of the Union, fill-in host Brianna Keilar asked Castro about the attack that Trump Jr. posted on Thursday, and later deleted, which went after Harris on the basis of her race.
There have been some just despicable online racist attacks on your fellow candidate Senator Kamala Harris, including one that the presidents son, Donald Trump Jr., retreated, Keilar said, and asked What is your reaction?
That is disgusting, Castro said. That it has no place in our politics.
And this is the game that these folks play, Castro continued. They put something out there, you notice what he did, he tweeted it out and then he deleted it, like a coward, so he could say oh, that was just a mistake, but he knows what hes doing.
Hes giving voice to these racist utterances about Senator Harris, Castro said, and added We need to dispel them immediately, and condemn them, and then not give them any more life because they are disgusting.
