O'Malley: Trump's immigration talk 'racist' and 'fascist'

When Donald Trump says all Mexicans are rapists and murderers, thats not being a leader, thats not solving problems, he told the No Labelss Problem Solver Promise conference in Manchester, N.H. via satellite on Monday.
There are other adjectives for that one of them being racist, the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate continued.
When Donald Trump says things like, Lets issue an ID card for all Muslim Americans, thats not bringing people together, thats not solving problems. Thats called making a fascist appeal.
O'Malley and Trump are two of six presidential contenders to take the No Labels problem solver promise, pledging to work across the aisle on at least one of the group's policy initiatives in their first 30 days if elected.
But OMalley used his speech before the group's conference to criticize Trump's inclusion.
Quite honestly, I think you are watering down and dumbing down your problem solver label when you bestow it on someone like Donald Trump, he said.
