All the President's Men author and journalist icon Carl Bernstein has warned that Donald Trump may inspire an "anti-Muslim pogrom" if his rhetoric keeps up. 

Speaking on CNN Wednesday, Bernstein criticized certain Democrats for not using words like "Islamic terror" to describe the attack in Orlando, saying it has paved the way for presidential candidate Donald Trump to fan the flames of hatred against Muslims. 

"Democrats are very late to acknowledge by name that there is a real threat of Islamic terrorism in this country and all over the world," said Bernstein. "And they've been very reluctant to use the words 'Islamic terror,' and it's coming back to haunt them."

Bernstein then went on to say that this intense hatred, which could potentially lead to an "anti-Muslim pogrom," needs to be calmed by Democrats saying the right terms and by "peace-loving" Muslims parading down the street in the name of stopping terrorism. 

There is no movement in this country -- and Trump got to this -- by the American Muslim, peace-loving, community to stage anti-terror marches. Why isn't there a million-person Muslim march on Washington against terror? We are going to have an anti-Muslim pogrom in this country if Trump continues to say some of the things he says, and if the American Muslim community -- and, indeed, Muslims all over the world -- who don't believe in the terrorist agenda of, quote, "radical Islam," don't start doing things in their own backyards.

Conservatives have been asking that question for over a decade now, Carl. Glad to see you got the memo.
