Political commentator Keith Boykin introduced out receipts for fellow “CNN NewsNight” panelist Batya Ungar-Sargon on Monday after the journalist and creator dismissed Donald Trump’s racism. (Watch the fiery change under).
Boykin swiftly responded to Ungar-Sargon after she known as it “appalling” that Trump hasn’t condemned leaked texts from Paul Ingrassia, considered one of his nominees, wherein he describes having “a Nazi streak” and remarks on his hope that the Martin Luther King Jr. vacation will get “tossed into the seventh circle of Hell.”
“As a result of Donald Trump has a historical past of racism himself,” replied Boykin, a former White Home aide to Invoice Clinton.
“No, that’s not true,” mentioned Ungar-Sargon, a self-described “MAGA Lefty.”
“Are you kidding me?!?” Boykin hit again.
Boykin proceeded to shred Ungar-Sargon’s declare by noting that Trump “began his profession with racism.”
“Within the Nineteen Seventies, he was sued for housing discrimination. In 1989, he was part of the — he led the lynch mob towards the Central Park 5. Within the Nineteen Nineties, he was sued by on line casino employees for racial discrimination,” Boykin started.
“He led a five-and-a-half-year marketing campaign towards Barack Obama for allegedly not having an correct beginning certificates. Donald Trump got here into workplace speaking about he was, he was going to ban Muslims and he known as Mexicans — have been supposedly bringing medicine —.”
Moments later, Boykin turned to Trump welcoming white South African refugees to the U.S. however not Black South African refugees earlier this yr.
“What might be extra racist then that?” he requested.
He went on to argue that Black persons are the “most loyal group” towards Trump as a result of they might “clearly see via the charade.”
“He has a 50-year historical past of racism,” Boykin added.
“Why did a majority of Hispanic males vote for him if he’s a racist?” Ungar-Sargon requested.
“I’m not a Hispanic individual,” Boykin replied. “I can inform you as a Black man that Donald Trump is a racist, that’s unquestionable.”
