Rep. Capuano Statement on Trump's Oval Office Comments on Immigration

January 12, 2018

"What Donald Trump said last night was vile, racist, and demands condemnation. Some say Trump tells the truth because he speaks “ what’s in his heart.” If this is what is in his heart he is not fit to be President. Last night’s offensive comments, uttered in the Oval Office no less, show him in a bright and ugly light. It is disgraceful that the President of the United States had a racist rant in the White House on the eve of the weekend on which we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."
