MSNBC Guest: Trump ‘Half a Rally Away from Using the N Word’

MSNBC Guest: Trump ‘Half a Rally Away from Using the N Word’ (The Washington Beacon)

MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson argued Monday that President Donald Trump insulting Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) shows he is close to using racial slurs.

Trump called Waters "a low-IQ individual" at a rally in Pennsylvania Saturday, and Johnson considered this an openly racist comment. When host Chris Matthews said the crowd may have been too ignorant to even know who Waters is, Johnson said the rallygoers knew whom Trump was targeting.
