What role has President Trump played in the rise of hate crimes in America? (Arjun Singh Sethi)
from TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent · host WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica radio station
On Tuesday, the FBI revealed that hate crimes in the U.S. rose 17 percent in 2017, the third consecutive year that figure has gone up. The report cites 7,175 hate crimes for the year, yet according to Arjun Singh Sethi, author of “American Hate: Survivors Speak Out,” considering the tendency of state and federal agencies to underreport such incidents, the number is most likely much higher. On this week’s TrumpWatch, Arjun looks at the role President Trump has played in the spike in hate violence observed in this country since his rise to power and considers what can be done to reverse this disturbing trend.
