here on this forum openly challenging and condemning DU members who are anti-refugee and, in my opinion, xenophobic.

In my last response to you, I said if Trump and his administration actually does attempt to move forward with a ban against Muslims or a Muslim registry that it should be fought against tooth and nail. But you overlook that in an attempt to distort my position.

So we, as Democrats, are supposed to tell Trump supporters that Muslims are not all terrorists and it would be a mistake to label them all as such and ban them or intern them, but then we can turn around and label all Trump supporters as bigots and sexists?

That, pal, is hypocrisy. I want no part of it. Trump exudes it daily. We don't need to stoop.
