Trump: How many people know what ‘xenophobe’ means?
Donald Trump is not too worried about people calling
him a “xenophobe” or “nativist,” if his comments to Boston radio host Howie
Carr are any indication.
Carr wrote in the Boston Herald on Thursday that
aboard the presumptive Republican nominee’s plane after attending a rally in
Bangor, Maine, he mentioned a protest sign earlier in the day in Boston, which
he recalled as saying, “RACIST SEXIST BIGOT FASCIST XENOPHOBE ISLAMOPHOBE
TRUMP.”
“Hillary’s called me a ‘xenophobe’ a few times. How
many people even know what the word means? Same with ‘nativist,'” Trump said,
according to Carr’s account.
Carr spoke at Trump’s event in Bangor, Maine, and
proceeded to mock Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) with Indian war whoops,
poking at the accusation that she secured a job at Harvard University by
claiming Cherokee heritage. Warren, a Hillary Clinton surrogate who campaigned
with the presumptive Democratic nominee on Monday in Ohio, has lashed out at
Trump frequently for his rhetoric toward women and minorities.
