Yusef Salaam was 15 years old when Donald Trump demanded his execution for a crime he did not commit.
Nearly three decades before the rambunctious billionaire began his run for president before he called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States, for the expulsion of all undocumented migrants, before he branded Mexicans as rapists and was accused of mocking the disabled Trump called for the reinstatement of the death penalty in New York following a horrific rape case in which five teenagers were wrongly convicted.
The miscarriage of justice is widely remembered as a definitive moment in New Yorks fractured race relations. But Trumps intervention he signed full-page newspaper advertisements implicitly calling for the boys to die has been gradually overlooked as the businessmans chances of winning the Republican nomination have rapidly increased. Now those involved in the case of the so-called Central Park Five and its aftermath say Trumps rhetoric served as an unlikely precursor to a unique brand of divisive populism that has powered his rise to political prominence in 2016.
He was the fire starter, Salaam said of Trump, in his first extended interview since Trump announced his run for the White House. Common citizens were being manipulated and swayed into believing that we were guilty.
DO not be fooled by KING CON - the racist King of Cons!!!
