Senator Jon Bramnick (R-21), an outspoken critic of President Donald J. Trump, condemned Trump's comments about Los Angeles and San Diego and pleaded with other Republicans to also strongly condemn the President's dangerous comments.

Bramnick:

"Trump said, 'Let them take out Los Angeles or San Diego.' All Republicans must condemn these comments. We can no longer allow this President to define our party. If we don't speak up now it will take years to redefine our party."

By way of context, from The Los Angeles Times:

President Trump, speaking at a campaign rally Monday, suggested Iran could “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego — a comment that was possibly in jest but brought a quick reaction from leaders in California.

Trump said he wanted to “see a tremendous victory” in the November election, “’cause it verifies all the things we did. And again, remember, with the war it’s just artificial, it’s a little bit high.”

“It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe,” he continued. “They can take out a city, let ’em take out Los Angeles, let ’em take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay.”
