Philadelphia mayor calls Donald Trump an a**hole
PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter referred to Donald Trump as "an a**hole" and wants to ban him from the city after the Republican presidential candidate called for a national ban on Muslims entering the U.S.
Reuters reports that Nutter's comments came during a news conference with his city's religious leaders. It's unclear what the question was that prompted Nutter's response.
Nutter calls Trump's proposal "ignorant" and says if he had the power, he'd ban Trump from the city. He says Philadelphia doesn't have "any room for that kind of stupidity."
On Monday, Trump proposed stopping Muslims from coming to America "until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses." His suggestion was quickly condemned by other Republican and Democratic presidential candidates.
The mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida, tweeted earlier Tuesday that he also would ban Trump from his city.
