On Civil Rights: Republican Party should reject immoral choice of racism

Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld (R) called President Trump a "raging racist" at the NAACP convention in Detroit. Said Weld: "Donald Trump is a raging racist, Okay? He's a complete and thoroughgoing racist. And he made that choice, a choice a long time ago, when he was engaged in the housing business in New York with his father."

He added: "The national Republican Party, has a choice. And a lot of them like to think that it's a political choice. But it's not a political choice. It's a moral choice. Unless the Republican Party in Washington expressly, expressly rejects the racism of Donald Trump, they're going to come to be universally viewed as the party of racism in America."
