I find it telling that the same people who are the first to invoke the specter of Sen. Joseph McCarthy don't seem to mind labeling as racists people they don't know and of whom they have no firsthand knowledge.
Donald Trump is many things – a misogynist and a lying liberal who deals from the bottom of the deck. But a racist?
I defy anyone labeling Mr. Trump a racist to back up their claim with evidence. If Mr. Trump's desire to secure the U.S.-Mexican border is racist, everyone in Baltimore City who locks their doors at night is a racist.
Perhaps O.J. Simpson's "dream team," or one of the 20 muck-raking journalists The Washington Post is paying to discredit Mr. Trump, can locate a former employee who will swear that his ex-boss used the "N-word" in time for the November election. I hear F. Lee Bailey is still alive.
