Republican challenger Bill Weld calls Trump a 'raging racist' at NAACP convention

Bill Weld, the former governor of Massachusetts and President Trump's lone Republican challenger for the party's presidential nomination, made sure his presence was felt at the NAACP's Presidential Candidate's Forum in Detroit on Wednesday.

Weld wasted no time attacking Trump. After he walked on to the stage and introduced himself, he called the president a 'raging racist,' and said that's been the case since Trump was involved in the New York real estate business with his father and the two allegedly engaged in discriminatory business practices.

The crowd reacted positively to Weld's all-out blitz, as they did to his quip that voters can tell Trump "you're fired" as he leaves with the White House with his golf clubs in tow. But there were also reportedly members of the audience "streaming out of the hall" when it was his turn to speak.
