Sanders says Trump's "slurring of the Latino community is not something that should be going on in the year 2015"

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has had it with Donald Trump and comparisons of his campaign to that of the billionaire mogul and GOP frontrunner.

The Vermont senator told the New York Times Magazine that he not only disagreed with Trump’s views on immigration but that he found Trump’s entire campaign to be an embarrassment. Asked by Ana Marie Cox in a short interview what he thought of “Trump’s surge in the polls,” Sanders responded, “not much.” Sanders went on to slam Trump as an “embarrassment for our country,” citing his “slurring of the Latino community”:

I think Donald Trump’s views on immigration and his slurring of the Latino community is not something that should be going on in the year 2015, and it’s to me an embarrassment for our country.


Sanders and Trump briefly crossed paths this weekend at the Iowa State Fair, where presidential candidates from both sides of the aisle visited the famed Soapbox and chowed down on a variety of fried delectables. “I apologize, we left the helicopter at home. It’s in the garage,” Sanders joked, mocking Trump’s splashy appearance at the fair via helicopter (the billionaire offered free rides to children and told them he was Batman.)

Donald Trump cited as potential influence in brutal attack on homeless Hispanic man


Source: Salon/The Boston Globe

Two Boston men have been charged with assault after attacking a sleeping homeless Hispanic man and telling police that “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported.”

The Boston Globe reports that brothers, Scott and Steve Leader of South Boston, cited the leading the Republican presidential candidate after they were arrested and charged on multiple assault charges, indecent exposure, and malicious destruction of property:

The Leader brothers were heading home after a Red Sox game when they approached a 58-year-old homeless man who was in a sleeping bag near the JFK/UMass T station. The brothers allegedly urinated on the man, punched him multiple times, and struck him with a metal pole.

(…)

The victim suffered a broken nose and bruises to his head and torso was taken to Boston Medical Center.


According to the police report filed in court, “Scott also stated Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported” and complained that he was only being arrested “because white people always are and never the minorities.”
