Murphy: Trump ‘Wants to Wage a War on People Who Aren’t White’

Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said President Donald Trump wanted to “wage a war on people who aren‘t white.”

Host Jake Tapper said, “So Democratic Leader Schumer just outlined, Democratic leadership’s demands for changes to ICE. They are tightening use of warrants, ending roving patrols, enforcing a code of conduct, and having ICE agents remove masks and wear body cams. In your opinion, do those demands go far enough, or is that good? Is that sufficient?”

He added, “This policy is Donald Trump‘s policy. You know, sometimes we want to pretend as if somebody else is running America‘s immigration policy. Donald Trump is told to use exactly what he wants to do. He wants to wage a war on people who aren‘t white, who have accents, who come from a different place.”
