The New York Times drew the ire of journalists for a headline that some said downplayed the outrageousness of comments former President Donald Trump made in which he suggested that immigrants have “bad genes.”
Trump was discussing President Joe Biden’s immigration policy on The Hugh Hewitt Show Monday when he embarked on a eugenics-tinged rant.
“How about allowing people to come through an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers? Many of them murdered far more than one person,” he said. “And they’re now happily living in the United States. You know, now, a murderer—I believe this—it’s in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”
