Trump makes white nationalist comments in interview with a British tabloid and then lies about it.
From “Emily at Mic”:
Trump spewed white nationalist rhetoric in his interview with Rupert Murdoch’s British news outlet the Sun, saying Britain is “losing its culture” thanks to immigration.
“Allowing the immigration to take place in Europe is a shame,” Trump told the Sun. “I think it changed the fabric of Europe and, unless you act very quickly, it’s never going to be what it was and I don’t mean that in a positive way.
“I think you are losing your culture,” Trump continued. “Look around. You go through certain areas that didn’t exist 10 or 15 years ago.”
Saying that Britain, a predominantly white country, will lose its culture because nonwhite people are migrating there is textbook white nationalism. GOP Rep. Steve King of Iowa often makes such white nationalist comments, but he is brushed off as being a fringe member of the House. Yet now the leader of the Republican Party and free world is spewing that same rhetoric, making it harder for the GOP to distance itself from white nationalism.
