Bernie Sanders: Trump ‘is a racist’

Published



Democratic 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders called President Trump a racist and said Trump’s immigration policies are “terrorizing people.”

“I think President Trump, and I say this without any joy in my heart, I think he is a racist,” Sanders said during an interview with “Noticias Telemundo,” highlights of which aired Sunday. “I think the things that he’s been saying about the Latino community from way back when … the people from Mexico, whether they’re rapists and they’re criminals. You remember all of that stuff. It’s disgusting.”
