The Face Of Hate

Guardian UK: Southern Poverty Law Center affixes Trump as face of 'year in hate' report - The annual report focuses on how hate speech, mostly from Donald Trump, has pervaded mainstream politics, as well as the 14% increase in US hate groups
Counted among the hate speech in the report were Trump’s statements on how illegal immigrants, especially Mexicans, are more likely to be rapists; his proposal to ban Muslim immigration to the US; and his tweets that regurgitate racist propaganda or retweeting of white supremacists. All of these statements, the SPLC said, caused the candidate to receive, “glowing endorsements from white nationalist leaders”.
