In a 60 Minutes segment that aired Sunday night, Donald Trump told supporters who may be engaged in harassment against minorities to knock it off.

Asked if he wanted to tell his supporters anything, Trump responded, "I would say don't do it, that's terrible. I'm going to bring this country together." Stahl told him Muslims and Latinos are being harassed, and he interrupted her to say, "I am so saddened to hear that, and I say, stop it. If it, if it helps, I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it."
