fatalities can be linked to domestic right-wing extremists. while 23.4% can be attributed to islamic extremist. donald trump s derogatory comments about muslims and his refusal to condemn white supremacy have undermined american s moral authority when events like what happened in new zealand take place. there are more than a dozen democrats currently vying to replace donald trump in the oval office. and one question for each of them will be how, and frankly if a new president can get that authority back. joining me now is one of those candidates, julian castro, former secretary of housing and urban development under president obama. secretary castro, thank you for being here. great to be with you, joy. so i want to play for you what the director of care, the council on american islamic relations, minhah aukad said the following about donald trump. it is no secret that mr.
trump has campaigned on white supremacist ideology, on division and fear. and now we see that he was able to normalize islamophobia and to give legitimacy to those who fear muslims and fear immigrants. so it comes back to him and we tell him that your words matter and your policies matter. if he would like to be the leader of the free world, he has to change his policies. and he has to reset the tone by recommitting himself to unity, equality, not only in words, but also in policies. so he has a lot to do and we hope that he will take the first step by condemning this as a white supremacist attack. secretary castro, when the president of the united states is spoken about that way by an american muslim leader in the wake of the attack like what happened in new zealand, how does the united states get back
followed with a tweet encouraging jewish people to leave the democratic party. before launching into a twitter rant accusing the fbi, the department of justice, and the cia of working to spy on him and, quote, take him out. trump s tirade about the subject he clearly preferred to focus on included a litany of his greatest hits, claiming zero crimes when the special counsel was appointed, saying there should be no mueller report, and ending with, this should never tho happen to a president again. speaking earlier, new zealand prime minister, jucinda ardern says when asked what he could do help, she said sympathy and love for all muslim communities, and she said the president acknowledged and agreed, which is kind of surprising considering everything that trump has said about muslims in the past. donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our
country s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. yes, we have to look at mosques. we have no choice. we have to see what s happening. because something is happening in there. problem in this country. it s called muslims. we know our current president is one. right. you know he s not even an american. we need this question! this is first question! but anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. that s my question. when can we get rid of them? we re going to be looking at a lot of different things. and you know, a lot of people are saying that, and a lot of people are saying, bad things are happening out there. we ll be looking at that and plenty of other things. i think islam hates us. there s something there s something there there s a tremendous hatred there. there s a tremendous hatred. a study by the anti-defamation league going back to 1970 found in the u.s., 73.3% of all extremist-related
that is my question. when can we get rid of them? we ll be looking at a lot of different things. a lot of people are saying that, a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. we ll be looking at that and plenty of other things. in the same same way that the tree of life slaughter takes place where anti-semitism isn t just the one guide, you have this sentiment that isn t just trump. well, here is something interesting. around that time end of september, early october, 2015, there was a whole hubbub in social media and on talk radio about hundreds of thousands of militarized refugees coming in when it was just secretary kerry saying there would be 10,000 mostly women and children. guess what happened? after a town hall in keen, nancy pelo pelosi new hampshire that candidate trump was speaking at, hate crimes against muslims and arabs went up.
