I'm so glad that Blagojevich brought up Trump's passionate sense of justice for people of color. đ
In June 2019, Trump said that he would not apologize for his harsh comments in 1989 about the Central Park Five, the five black and Latino teenagers who were wrongly convicted in NY.
More than a decade after the exoneration of the five black and Latino teens, Trump indicated in an interview last year, that he still doesnât accept their innocence. Nor does he think he owes them an apology for publicly calling for their executions.
The teenagers were exonerated by DNA evidence and a confession from the true perpetrator in 2002, 13 years after they were vilified by prosecutors and in the press after being charged and convicted.
On May 1, 1989, as the case was headed to trial, Trump spent $85,000 placing a full-page ad in four newspapers, calling for the young men accused of the crime to be executed.
âBRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!â the ad proclaimed in enormous capital letters. Below, in smaller text, Trump ranted, âI want to hate these murderers and I always will. I am not looking to psychoanalyze or understand them, I am looking to punish them."
