Democratic Candidates Call Trump A White Supremacist, A Label Some Say Is 'Too Simple'
Following two recent mass shootings, about half a dozen Democratic presidential candidates are not mincing their words when it comes to President Trump.
They're calling him a "white supremacist."
"He is," former Rep. Beto O'Rourke said on MSNBC.
He had already called Trump a "racist" and was asked whether he thought Trump was a white supremacist. "He is a dehumanizer. ... He has been very clear about who he prefers to be in this country and who he literally wants to keep out with walls and cages and militarization and torture and cruelty. And again, we in El Paso have born the brunt of all of that."
Twenty-two people were killed in El Paso, Texas, earlier this month when a gunman opened fire in a Walmart. People from both sides of the U.S.-Mexicoa screed deriding immigrants as invaders.
