Almost Half The Country Thinks Donald Trump Is A Racist
Huffingtonpost. ^ | July 4, 2018

Nearly half of voters think President Donald Trump is a racist, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.

Forty-nine percent of voters said Trump is racist, while 47 percent said he’s not, according to the poll. These numbers are similar to those from a February Quinnipiac poll, where 49 percent of voters said Trump was racist and 46 percent said he was not.

Forty-four percent of voters said they think “racist beliefs” were a motive in Trump’s immigration policy, while 50 percent said Trump has “a sincere interest in controlling our borders.” Sixty percent said the policy of separating children from their parents at the border was a violation of human rights.

Since enacting the policy, Trump and his associates have repeatedly pushed false, racist narratives to garner support, often associating immigration with high crime rates despite no evidence to support claims that immigrants commit more crime than U.S. citizens.

Disgusting that the “pollsters” at Quinnipiac would even pay for a “poll” like this. Pure political propaganda. #BoycottQuinnipiac

Now they need to ask how many of us don’t give a damn about being called racist.

So many people have been brainwashed by a constant media drumbeat. That is the takeaway from this poll.

Democrats are openly racist.

Consider, if you will, the open and notorious existence of racists bodies such as, La Raza, the Congressional Black Caucus and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

So what. That half of the country wants socialism, but won’t admit that it is socialism. That half of the country hates energy production but mostly live in cities where they are totally dependent on electricity for survival.

He thinks criminals need to be kept out. I’ve never heard him say that people from south of the border are more likely to be criminals.

If by racist they mean enforce the law and judge people by their character then yes he is.

So having borders is racist?

Who knew

Tell it to the Europeans, they’re all white and yet they still have little lines in the sand called “borders”

But the Left has conditioned people that anyone who says anything about race is a racist, just like anyone who comments about a woman’s appearance is a sexist and that gender is somehow different than sex.

They’re corrupted the language through their control of education and the media.
