[Daily Caller] Georgia Democratic Rep. John Lewis said on MSNBC Friday afternoon that President Trump has racism "in his DNA" and "in his makeup."Lewis made the accusation following Trump’s reported comments that America needs fewer Haitian immigrants and more immigrants from countries like Norway. The president reportedly referred to some countries in Africa as a "shithole."
"I think the words and his action tend to speak like one who knows something about being a racist," Lewis said when asked if he thought Trump is a racist. "It must be in his DNA, in his makeup, but it’s frightening to have someone in the office of the president in 2018 speaking the way that he is speaking. We’ve come too far and made too much progress to go back to fan the flames of racism and bigotry."
