President-elect Donald Trump said in an interview broadcast Sunday he was "saddened" by reports that harassment and intimidation of minorities had spiked following his election, and called for it to end.

"I hate to hear that. I am so saddened to hear that," the Republican said when asked on CBS's "60 minutes" about the reports. "If it helps. I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it."
