澳彩开奖鈥檚 Intelligence Project Director Heidi Beirich issued the below statement on the impact of President Trump鈥檚 racially-driven rhetoric following the shooting Saturday in El Paso, Texas:
听
鈥淏y describing immigrants in derogatory terms, President Trump is pushing anti-immigrant hate into the mainstream. Trump has broken the bounds of decency, and his rhetoric and tweets are normalizing anti-immigrant sentiments and fueling white supremacist conspiracy theories that engender violence.听
听
鈥淎s we head into another election cycle, Trump shows no signs of stopping and is, in fact, doubling down on his efforts to turn the country into an increasingly unwelcome environment for anyone who isn鈥檛 white. To pretend that his administration and the hateful rhetoric it spreads doesn鈥檛 play a role in the kind of violence that we saw yesterday in El Paso is ignorant at best and irresponsible at worst.
听
鈥淲e cannot ignore the role that Trump鈥檚 policies, appointments, and rhetoric play in the ongoing instances of domestic terror that continue to plague our country. In referring to immigrants as 鈥榬apists鈥� and 鈥榠nvaders,鈥� threatening ICE raids, separating families, and laughing off chants of 鈥榮end her back,鈥� Trump is emboldening ideologies that turn into real life violence, making America a more dangerous place for all of us and particularly the communities Trump targets.鈥�
