Trump Gives Eugenic Vibes Ranting Against 'Genetics' of 'Sick' Muslim Immigrants [View all]

"US President Donald Trump was accused Friday of espousing white supremacist ideology after he blamed the 'genetics' of Muslim immigrants who commit crimes like Thursday’s assault on a Michigan synagogue, while calling for their exclusion from the United States."

“ 'Well, it’s been going on for a long time. It’s a disgrace. They’re sick, they’re really demented people,' Trump said during a call-in interview with Fox News Radio host Brian Kilmeade. 'They come into the country, they sneak in.' "

"Trump was responding to a question about recent attacks by people who happen to be Muslims, including Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, who was stabbed to death by a cadet at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia after fatally shooting instructor Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, and Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, who was shot dead by security guards at the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan after crashing his vehicle into the building."

"Neither Jalloh nor Ghazali 'snuck' into the country. Both were naturalized US citizens. Jalloh, originally from Sierra Leone, was a former National Guardsman. Ghazali had recently lost two of his brothers and other relatives to an Israeli airstrike in his native Lebanon."
