Then: Mitt Romney says Donald Trump will change America with 'trickle-down racism'

http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/10/politics/mitt-romney-donald-trump-racism/

I don't want to see trickle-down racism," Romney said in an interview here in a suite overlooking the Wasatch Mountains, where he is hosting his yearly ideas conference. "I don't want to see a president of the United States saying things which change the character of the generations of Americans that are following. Presidents have an impact on the nature of our nation, and trickle-down racism, trickle-down bigotry, trickle-down misogyny, all these things are extraordinarily dangerous to the heart and character of America."

Trump spent much of Tuesday in Trump Tower, racing through meetings with prospective administration hires as high-profile vacancies remain — none bigger than secretary of state. He emerged in the evening for a private dinner with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who is on the shortlist for the nation’s chief diplomat.

Romney spoke briefly to reporters after the meal, saying he has “increasing hope” that Trump can lead the country to a “better future.”

“I have to tell you, I’ve been impressed by what I’ve seen in this transition effort,” added Romney.


I guess the hiring of Steve Bannon and Jeff Sessions put Willard's mind at ease about that antagonism towards minorities thing.
