Lemon: Trump’s New Ad Is ‘Racist’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
LEMON: "Crowds tearing down fences. We don't know where. We don't even know if it's in the United States. Swarming the streets. It's a naked appeal to fear and hate is what it is, and it is racist. The president has always used fear to his advantage. First he wanted everyone to be afraid of the caravan. People he called invadeers, even though they were a thousand miles away. And it worked for a while. Until terror reared its ugly head closer to home. When a trump supporter with a van covered in trump stickers started sending bombs all across the country. So then the president tried to whip up fear by sending troops to the border. Again, to combat a nonexistent threat from refugee families, women and children. But this time people were talking about the horrible anti-semitic murder of Jews at worship in a synagogue, and the climate of division for which the president bears responsibility. So, President Trump turned to birthright citizenship, wanting to strip away a constitutional right that even his own party leaders, even Paul Ryan said he could not do. So, he attacked Paul Ryan today for having the audacity to say the president was wrong, and to speak the truth. And just in case people missed the president's message of fear, dividing by race to suit his own political purposes, he tweeted that ad. And then went out on the trail to divide, divide, divide. He did it again tonight."
