Harris lists out 'racist' actions by Trump in '60 minutes' interview: 'It all speaks for itself'
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/522709-harris-lists-out-racist-actions-by-trump-in-60-minutes-interview-it-allSen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) told CBS's "60 Minutes" that she believes President Trump is racist and pointed to his interest in the "birther" conspiracy theories about President Obama's birthplace as evidence.
In the interview airing as part of Sunday's episode, Harris pulled no punches when asked by anchor Norah O'Donnell if she believed the commander-in-chief was racist.
"Do you think the president is racist?" asked O'Donnell.
"Yes, I do," Harris responded, laughing. "Yeah. I do. You can look at a pattern that goes back to him questioning the identity of the first Black president of the United States."
"You can look at Charlottesville, when there were peaceful protesters, And on the other side, neo-Nazis and he talks about fine people on either side," Harris added, referring to the 2017 violence between white nationalists and left-leaning counterprotesters. "Calling Mexicans rapists and criminals. His first order of business was to institute a Muslim ban. It all speaks for itself."
