Several New York City elected officials have rallied outside Trump Tower to denounce Donald Trump�s comments about a federal judge�s Mexican heritage.
City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito claimed Monday that any Republican who has backed Trump shares in the blame for his divisive rhetoric.
Mark-Viverito is a Democrat and is supporting Hillary Clinton. She criticized Trump�s unwillingness to apologize.
Trump has come under fire for suggesting that Judge Gonzalo Curiel �should have recused himself� from the fraud case against the presumptive Republican nominee�s now defunct Trump University.
Curiel is from Indiana. His parents emigrated from Mexico.
Trump claims the jurist can�t be impartial in the case since Curial is of Mexican heritage and Trump plans to build a wall along the southern border.
