Trump won’t apologize for his treatment of the innocent Central Park Five

In 1989, Trump spent $85,000 to buy full page ads calling to execute 5 African-American teenagers who were falsely accused of a gruesome crime. After they were exonerated with DNA evidence, he doubled-down on that outrageous stance in October 2016. And today, he both-sides’d it. https://t.co/WhE4TUrczt

There is no “both sides.” The confessions were forced. A convicted murderer and serial rapist confessed to the crime, and the charges against the five were dropped. #ExoneratedFive https://t.co/pm9e5auooG
