Host Larry Wilmore: “Now for months now Donald Trump’s been saying some crazy racist things, like banning all Muslims, building the wall, Mexican border, blah, blah, blah. Racist, racist, racist. And yesterday, Ted Cruz jumped in that racist crazy train and angered a lot of people by releasing a statement that said, you know ‘we need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.’ Right? Okay, so my question is, who is batsh*t crazier? Who’s a scarier choice for America? Cruz or Trump?
Singer Anthony Hamilton: “I think they’re both scary. I think you have one that’s a closet racist and then you have one that’s just out there.”
...
Wilmore: “Cruz, to me, is just more dangerous. Trump is just a fool to me.”
