McConnell says Trump is ‘not a racist’ and calls for Washington to ‘tone down’ rhetoric by kadiatubman
Because Trump’s comments have further widened Washington’s partisan divide, McConnell was asked to comment on them during his weekly press conference.
“So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world , now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,” Trump tweeted Sunday.
Trump denied charges that his tweets were racist. “I don’t have a Racist bone in my body!” he tweeted Tuesday. When asked if he would consider it a racist attack if his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao — who is a naturalized citizen — was told to go back to her native country of Taiwan, McConnell dodged the question by noting that his wife came to the country “at age 8, legally, not speaking a word of English and has realized the American dream.”
