Megan Rapinoe To Trump: “Your Message Is Excluding People”

During an appearance on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, world champion soccer player Megan Rapinoe was asked if she had a message for Donald Trump.

Taking a moment, she looked directly into the camera and said:

“Your message is excluding people. You’re excluding me, you’re excluding people who look like me, you’re excluding people of color, you’re maybe excluding Americans that may support you. I think that we need to have a reckoning about the message that you have, and what you’re saying about ‘Make America Great Again.’

“You’re harking back to an era that wasn’t great for America. Maybe it was great for a few people, and maybe America’s great for a few people right now, but it’s not great for enough Americans in this world.”

“Your message is excluding people. You’re excluding me. You’re excluding people that look like me. You’re excluding people of color. You’re excluding… Americans that maybe support you.”
