"He's the schoolyard bully rallying classmates to make fun of the skinny kid with glasses. When President Obama said that 'Muslim-Americans are our friends and our neighbors; our co-workers, our sports heroes,' Trump quickly tweeted: 'What sport is he talking about, and who?' The press immediately provided him with a list, as well as photos of Trump with prominent Muslim-American sports figures, including Shaquille O'Neal, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali and, yes, me. What makes his statement even more insidious is the suggestion that, even if there were no Muslim sports heroes, Muslims would somehow be lesser people, less worthy. This cruel and dim-witted thinking is not the stuff presidents are made of."
