So he dished up some casual racism on live TV this morning [View all]

This is what he said about undocumented farm workers: "People that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They've tried, we've tried, everybody tried. They don't do it These people do it naturally. Naturally...they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die."

As Sherrilyn Ifill pointed out on bluesky, the "inner city" people are blacks, and "these people" are Latino.
