Chair of the Democratic Party Rep. [crscore]Debbie Wasserman Schultz[/crscore] thinks that Donald Trump and the rest of the Republican presidential field is “nothing short of un-American.”

Appearing on CNN’s “Wolf” on Wednesday, Wasserman Schultz argued “as the leader of one of the two major national party is to sound the alarm bell here. I mean, what is coming out of the Republican side of the presidential field is nothing short of un-American for a variety of reasons.” (RELATED: Trump Calls For Moratorium On Muslims Entering United States)

Wasserman Schultz explained that “Trump is hurtling us towards a repeat of the McCarthy era. I mean, it can be called nothing less than that. God forbid this man would become president, and would actually implement the outrageous proposal that we would not allow Muslims to come into our country wholesale, and even ban Muslim Americans from traveling back into the country is just the, it cries out for a unified condemnation which has not come in any shape or form from the are Republican side.” (RELATED: Trump’s Republican Rivals Slam His Muslim Moratorium Proposal)

“Mealy-mouthed criticism that has come from some of the presidential candidates and unfortunately the Republican Party chairman, Mr. Priebus, is outrageous,” Wasserman Schultz insisted. “What they need to do is unequivocally state, each one of their candidates for president would not support this man if he were their nominee, and every one of them continues to have raised the right hand and stand by that pledge to support this man if he is their nominee. You know, the poem that that came after World War II and the Holocaust that said, that talks about I didn’t speak up, and then they came for me, applies here. Well, we’re speaking up, and we will continue to speak up.” (RELATED: Trump On Muslim Immigration Ban: ‘It’s Not About Religion, This Is About Safety’)
