[BREITBART] Presidential candidate Julian Castro (D) on Thursday praised news organizations for calling Trump a "racist," saying he believes news outlets must "call a spade a spade.""I am Cornhoolio!"

Castro, the former San Antonio mayor who was former President Barack Obama My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it... ’s Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary, also said "in some ways, journalism in the Trump era is more challenging than ever" and urged establishment outlets "to stay focused on newsworthiness and not to let a fascination with oddity, or simple timeliness, overtake news judgement about what’s important for readers." "The fact that the president just went back on his word to do universal background checks should be front page and these other moves by Trump are likely designed to distract from that," he continued.
