Trump Is In No Position To Call Hillary a Bigot

At a rally last night in Jackson, Mississippi, Donald Trump said this of Hillary Clinton:


Hillary Clinton is a bigot who sees people of color only as votes, not as human beings worthy of a better future.


While I agree that Hillary sees people of color only as votes, I think this is how she views the rest of America as well. In this respect, Hillary distributes her condescension and contempt equally. Needless to say, I cannot stand the sight nor sound of Hillary Clinton. But while you can call Hillary many things, a bigot isn't one of them.


More to the point, even if Hillary was a bigot, Trump is no position to lecture her on the subject. Not after he called for the total shutdown of Muslim immigration and said that Judge Curiel was unfit for the bench because of his Mexican heritage. Given that Donald Trump has seen fit to judge people solely by their skin color, heritage and religious beliefs, his cries of "bigot" simply has no credibility.
