He appeared on MSNBC’s Hardball and explained that he didn’t support the Republican nominee for president because Donald Trump “lacks compassion.” Earlier, after the police killing of two more black men and the killing of five police officers in Dallas, Trump said that he is the candidate of law and order, as well as the “candidate of compassion.”
Asked if he had any idea who Donald Trump should name as his vice president, Miami Republican mayor Tomás Pedro Regalado, said “it doesn’t matter to me because I’m not supporting Donald Trump. And the reason I’m not supporting is I don’t think he is a candidate of compassion. A person with compassion do not call people who don’t look like him ‘murderers’ and ‘drug dealers’ and ‘rapists.'”
Regalado then went on to explain he’s been a public figure for 20 years, but for the first time in that span, he’s getting emails telling him to “go back to your country!”
