Straight Out of Mein Kampf — Trump’s Racism on Full Display in Comments Disparaging Immigrants’ “Genes”

In an interview with conservative host Hugh Hewitt, former President Donald Trump used xenophobic terminology to deride immigrants living in the U.S.

Describing immigrants as murderers (a false characterization of migrants coming to the country), Trump suggested it was a trait that’s “in their genes.”

“And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” Trump said.

The racist, fascistic comment sounds like something straight out of Mein Kampf, and certainly is unbecoming (to put it politely) for a candidate for president to say.

Of course, we’ve already known Trump is a racist for quite some time. He was discriminatory toward Black residents in his New York properties during the 1970s. He called for the death penalty against the Central Park Five, and believes they still should be punished even after they were exonerated. And he told Black women lawmakers in Congress to “go back” to their own countries because they dared to criticize him (three of the four women he was referencing were born in the U.S., the fourth has lived here since she was a child).

Trump is racist. He’ll be a racist president if he’s elected again. And our country will suffer under his racist agenda, if that happens.

Vote accordingly.
