Trump telling reporters with any accent that he “just can’t understand them” is hateful and is another dog whistle to his racist base. #LoveConquersHate #Resist

What a bigoted a-hole. Just shameful. And the GOPers voted for this type of bigotry across the board yesterday - Florida, Georgia, Iowa, etc.

I'm not naive, I know racism exists in America. But it is so overt under Trump. I really though America had progressed through the 50s, 60s, 70s. But I guess it's just been hidden.

I grew up in a household with my maternal grandparents -- immigrants from Romania. My other grandparents -- one from Yugoslavia and one from Croatia. To me, there is nothing more beautiful than someone with a beautiful accent. In fact, it is the only thing I like about Melania Trump.
