It says the president's comments have fuelled "serious human rights violations", an accusation the White House dismisses.

A United Nations watchdog has warned that “racist hate speech” used by President Donald Trump and other US politicians has fuelled human rights violations.

A report by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), a UN-backed panel of independent experts, urged the US to respect international law and review its human rights policies.

It said the portrayal of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers “as criminals or ​as a burden by politicians and influential public figures at the highest level of the state party, particularly its president” may incite racial discrimination and hate crimes.

The White House dismissed the report, calling it “useless” and “biased”.

    Does anyone really not understand yet?

    Violence is the plan. Then use the violence as an excuse to “suspend” the Constitution.

    And yes, I know that’s not legal, but with this gutless nutless brainless Congress? Who would stop him?

      If they did this and if others did this in 2015 we’d be an entirely different world.

        They did. Trump constantly raved about how the media loved to hate him, which was true. Unfortunately, he had a disenfranchised base who saw this as the “elite” media controlling the narrative, which only served to embolden his racist excuses for why they felt disenfranchised.

    I’m normally not keen on eugenics. But if we could end the entire Trump bloodline I think that would be a good use case.

    Lol. This pedo felon racist has been inciting hate crimes for the last decade.

    Why do “news” agencies keep catching onto things a decade too late?

    Trump’s insane comments are long past being shocking or surprising. I’m more interested in knowing if something is going to be done about it, and the answer is always no.
