Obama: Reject any leader whose language promotes hatred

Former US President Barack Obama has urged Americans to reject any of the leaders who harbor hatred and normalise racism.

Obama did not mention anyone, but his rare comment comes after President Donald Trump sought to divert criticism that his rhetoric against immigrants has triggered violence.

In a speech given Monday, Donald Trump condemned the hatred and superiority of white people.

These statements were made after 31 people were killed during the gun attacks in Texas and Ohio.

While on duty, Obama struggled without success to limit arms maintenance. He told the BBC in 2015 that his failure to adopt <x0) strong weapons security laws” had been the biggest disappointment of his presidency.
