This is a copy of a letter I sent to Ohio Senator Rob Portman:
Dear Senator Portman,
On June 16, 2015 Donald Trump said this about Mexicans,
“They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
Mexican-Americans were outraged. Were you? If you weren’t, shame on you.
When he said, “I assume” he hedged. He is casting doubt on the “are good people” part and asserting that his false and ignorant statement that “They’re rapists.” is true.
His statement is outrageous and bigoted. If you can’t see that, then you have a serious problem.
