Donald Trump changes tone on Boston attack

Politico

Donald Trump just changed his tone on the attack of a Boston Hispanic man done by two of his supporters.

“Boston incident is terrible. We need energy and passion, but we must treat each other with respect. I would never condone violence,” he tweeted Friday.

Earlier this week, two men beat a homeless man with a metal pipe and then urinated on him. They expressed no remorse. Instead, one brother said “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported,” according to an account in the Boston Globe.

When asked about the incident at a town hall Wednesday, Trump said he didn’t know anything about it but said it would “be a shame.”

“I will say, the people that are following me are very passionate,” Trump continued. “They love this country, they want this country to be great again.”

Trump’s immigration plan, released Sunday, calls for a wall across the 1,900-mile U.S. border with Mexico and the deportation of the estimated 11 million immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally. Trump also called for revoking so-called birthright citizenship, the 14th Amendment provision that grants citizenship to children born to undocumented immigrants in the United States.

The proposals have roiled the GOP field, with even Jeb Bush, who has presented himself as a moderate on immigration, vowing to crack down on parents of “anchor babies” who abuse the system.
