Trump urged to sue Letitia James for 'sex and race discrimination'

A political commentator and regular guest on Fox Business suggested on air that Donald Trump should sue New York Attorney General Letitia James for "sex and race discrimination."

Deroy Murdock made the comments during a discussion regarding a New York appeals court agreeing to delay the collection of Trump's $454 million civil fraud judgment — which was recently lowered to a bond of $175 million that he must turn over within 10 days from Monday while he appeals the verdict.

The judgment came after James filed a civil suit against Trump accusing him of filing fraudulent financial statements that inflated his his net worth in order to get more favorable bank transactions.

During the Fox segment on Tuesday, Murdock pointed to past comments James made in which she said she planned to go after the "too male, too pale, too stale" Trump administration.

"Now, you could talk about stale ideas, that's fine, but too male and too pale, that constitutes, basically, sex and race discrimination. So I think what President Trump ought to do is sue her based on the 1964 Civil Rights Act," Murdock said.

"Her office gets federal money for various subsidies for law enforcement activity. So federal money is flowing into her office and if she is engaged in that kind of sexual and racial discrimination and that kind of language, I think she's wide open to exposure on the 1964 Civil Rights Act," he said, adding, "Donald J. Trump should sueLetitia James on the basis of civil rights."

Murdock previously wrote a piece for The American Spectator making the same suggestion, writing that Trump should sue James because "what the hell does Trump have to lose?"

"He immediately should file a federal complaint and demand justice under America's keystone civil-rights law. To see a white male multi-billionaire sue a [Black] female attorney general to secure his civil rights would be the ultimate man-bites-dog story," Murdock wrote.
