Mr Springer said he wouldn’t want the next US president to be someone who had been on The Jerry Springer show.
“The show is entertainment, the show is a circus, the show is stupid. I’ve said that for 25 years,” he said.

“. . . Along with millions of Americans, I’ve come to realize that opposing you is no longer a political decision. It is a moral one,” he wrote.
“I’ve watched you retweet racist images. I’ve watched you retweet lies.
“I’ve watched you joyfully encourage violence and promise to ‘pay legal fees’ of those who commit violence on your behalf.”

“I can confirm—the hateful one is you.”
