Donald Trump used increasingly harsh rhetoric to attack immigrants, suggesting that immigrants commit horrendous crimes because “it’s in their genes,” Politico reports.
Said Trump: “How about allowing people to come to an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers, many of them murdered far more than one person, and they’re now happily living in the United States. You know now a murder, I believe this, it’s in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”
He also said Kamala Harris “wants to go into a Communist Party-type system” to “feed people governmentally.”
Philip Bump: Trump finally just says that some immigrants are genetically inferior.
