Iowa State Fair Political Soapbox: Bill Weld says GOP must disavow Trump
Republican Bill Weld said the Republican Party is doomed to electoral loss unless it disavows the racism of President Donald Trump.
Weld, a two-term former governor from Massachusetts, spoke at the Des Moines Register Political Soapbox at the Iowa State Fair Sunday. He announced in April he would run for president, and this is his first trip to Iowa as a candidate.
“I’m not running because I think I’m the only person who can make a difference,” he said from the stage. “I’m running because I’m troubled by the situation in our country, and I think we’re at something of an inflection point. I think the most urgent duty facing the next president is to seek to unify the country as opposed to dividing it.”
Weld said Trump has fueled fear and resentment against Americans of color and of foreigners.
“It’s demagoguery in the first order,” he said.

Good luck Weld but I don't think many of the GOPers are going to listen to you.
