The verbal attacks on immigrants just keep coming from the Trump/Vance campaign. CNN reports on the latest.
Former President Donald Trump yesterday suggested that undocumented immigrants who commit murder have “bad genes.” It is “the latest example of the former president using dehumanizing rhetoric as he tries to stoke fears about those in the country illegally.”
In a radio interview on “The Hugh Hewitt Show,” Trump distorted statistics to attack Kamala Harris for “allowing people to come through an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers.”
“You know, now, a murderer, I believe this – it’s in their genes. And we got bad, a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” Trump said.
JUST NOW: @realDonaldTrump leans heavily into race science by telling @hughhewitt that you can tell whether migrants are predisposed to committing murder by “their genes.”

Previously, Trump echoed Hitler in saying that that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.” He also falsely claimed that Haitian migrants were eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump has promised mass deportations of undocumented immigrants if he wins the election.
