Democratic Presidential Candidates Say Trump Enables White Supremacists
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Democratic presidential candidates are linking Trump's racist rhetoric
to massacres by white nationalists in Texas, California and elsewhere.
Senator Elizabeth Warren said Wednesday Trump gave white supremacists
aid and comfort. Beto O'Rourke said Trump made it "very clear" that he's
a white supremacist. Former Vice President Joe Biden said Trump had
aligned himself with the "darkest forces in this nation." New Jersey
Senator Cory Booker spoke out during a visit to the Emanuel AME Church
in Charleston, South Carolina, where in 2015 a white nationalist gunman
killed nine African-American worshipers. 

Sen. Cory Booker: "White supremacy allows political leaders to promise
to build the wall, while not building hospitals, schools or
infrastructure critical for the success of all Americans."
