Nutter denounces Trump comments while in Mexico
Listen
The mayor of Philadelphia had some choice words for a presidential candidate.
While traveling in Mexico, Mayor Michael Nutter said he denounced Donald Trump’s remarks about Mexican immigrants.”I just think that in the United States of America, while I am a supporter of free speech, I think people should be mindful and sensitive and careful of how freely they speak,” Nutter said. “It should not be at the level of insulting an entire country.”In announcing his presidential bid and explaining his plan to build “a big, big wall” between Mexico and the U.S., Trump called Mexican immigrants rapists, drug runners and criminals last month.
“And some, I assume, are good people,” Trump added.Nutter also discussed trade issues with Mexican officials during the trip.
