These journalists finally called Trump racist

Breaking news: Donald Trump is racist.

The latest example of his racism occurred Thursday afternoon when Trump, according to the Washington Post, grew frustrated with the idea of restoring protection for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador, and African countries. “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” he asked, wondering aloud why more Norwegians — the world’s happiest people — couldn’t come to the U.S. instead.

It’s not the first time Trump has insulted immigrants from Africa and Haiti either. In June, he said Haitians “all have AIDS” and that Nigerians would never “go back to their huts” once they come to the U.S.

Despite Trump’s extensive history of racist comments and policies, Thursday’s revelation still shocked members of the media — and some finally called it what it is.

“Parents if you’re watching with children you might want to mute for the next 35 seconds,” Jake Tapper solemnly warned before detailing the latest remarks. “This is beyond unbefitting, this beyond unpresidential… This is straight up racist,” Tapper’s guest, John Avlon, Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Beast, breathlessly announced.
