Donald Trump, presidential hopeful, was just blamed by the executive secretary of the Unite Here Local 25 union of hotel and restaurant workers for the horrific church shootings in South Carolina that left nine dead.
“Donald Trump, with his hate speech, lends legitimacy to assassins like the young man who walked into a South Carolina church and murdered all those people,” said John Boardman, during a protest at the future site of Trump’s hotel in Washington, D.C., the Daily Caller reported. “When crazy people hear hate speech, that’s the response.”

Dylann Roof, 21, was arrested and charged with nine counts of murder for the June 17 attack at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church in Charleston, South Carolina. He also faces a weapons charge and three counts of attempted murder.
Trump called the shooting “incomprehensible” in a mid-June tweet.
But now the union has pointed fingers his way.
Boardman said he and his fellow union members rallied at the site to lend support for the “brave” companies that cut business ties with Trump – like Macy’s, NBC, NASCAR and Univision – over comments he made about illegal immigrants in America. Trump, who said during his presidential campaign announcement Mexico is sending rapists and criminal elements across the border into America, refuses to backtrack on his remarks and has since faced concerted fire.
Trump wants to renovate the old U.S. Post Office Building in the capital city into a luxury hotel.
