Castro defends brother outing donors — These People are Propping Up a Racist President

Presidential candidate Julián Castro Friday defended his brother Rep. Joaquin Castro sharing a list of President Donald Trump donors on his Twitter feed this week.

“He was lamenting the fact that you have so many folks, these big businesses in San Antonio, who have made their livelihood off of the Hispanic community in San Antonio that are propping up a president who is clearly racist, who is encouraging hate and division against the Hispanic community,” the former HUD secretary and San Antonio mayor said of his brother’s tweet.

“There all types of newspapers, all types of organizations that put out information about who contributes to who, that’s nothing new,” said Castro, adding he believed people “need to know” who is giving money to a politician who is “making the lives of Hispanics worse.”

“Some of these Republicans are being targeted and harassed, why is that okay?” one reporter asked. “It’s not okay for people to harass other people… Nobody ever said that it was,” said Castro.
