CNN Guest: Trump Supporters ‘Fall in the Category of White Supremacy’
EXCERPT:
CROSS: "Yeah, but let me push back on that a little bit, Alisyn, because when — so a lot of people, I think, hold that safe view. You know, they feel like they’re not like those other people. They’re not like racists. But when you are backing a candidate who has made his entire campaign about white identity politics, about how white people are getting the short end of the stick, and he has backed that up with racist rhetoric, racist policies, racist action and this is the camp you’re in, then you do identify with some level of racism. You do fall in the category of white supremacy. You cannot back a racist and then say no, but I don’t — I only support X, Y, and Z but I don’t support his racism. That is not the way that the rest of the country can perceive those kind of racist attacks and things that promote and perpetuate white supremacy in this country."
