Washington: The US Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump is dragging himself out of the race with his bigoted remarks that Muslims should be stopped from entering the US.
The White House on Tuesday said his call for the United States to ban Muslims from entering the country disqualified him from becoming president.
The White House called on Republicans to reject him immediately.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Trump’s campaign had a “dustbin of history” quality to it and said his comments were offensive and toxic, according to Reuters.
Reports are also rife that Trump may leave the Republican party and run his own campaign for President-ship. But the critical question is whether or not he will face legal action for his hate speech against Muslims, for which he remains unrepentant.
“Anything that bolsters ISIL’s narrative and pits the United States against the Muslim faith is certainly not only contrary to our values but contrary to our national security,” Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook told a news briefing, using an acronym for Islamic State.
