NYC politicians rally against ‘hateful’ Trump
Dozens of New York City elected officials, clergy members and activists rallied against Donald Trump on Wednesday, decrying the Republican presidential frontrunner’s “hateful” rhetoric and plan to bar Muslims from entering the U.S.
City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, a Democrat who organized the rally on the steps of City Hall, declared that Trump’s proposed ban was “xenophobic and racist.”
“There is nothing left to say about Donald Trump other than that he is a disgusting, racist demagogue who has no business running for president, period,” said Mark-Viverito, who previously announced her support for Hillary Clinton for president.
