Top Republicans Join Obama in Condemning Trump’s Words
posted on June 16, 2016Sean Sullivan and Mike DeBonis of The Washington Post write, “Top Republicans joined with President Obama and other Democrats Tuesday in sharply condemning Donald Trump’s reaction to the nightclub massacre in Orlando, decrying his anti-Muslim rhetoric and his questioning of Obama’s allegiances as divisive and out of step with America’s values.” Earlier this week, Trump renewed his call for a ban on Muslim immigration and suggested that President Obama is a terrorist sympathizer. Bob Corker, a Republican senator from Tennessee, said, “Traditionally, it is a time when people rally around our country, and it’s obviously not what’s occurred, and it’s very disappointing.”
