Shannon Pettypiece: Trump Jr’s Tweet on Kamala Harris Is ‘Reminiscent’ of Birtherism

EXCERPT:

PETTYPIECE: "Right. It almost sounds reminiscent of the birther argument —"
SEAWRIGHT: "Absolutely."
PETTYPIECE: "— as many people have pointed out in 2016. And, of course, with an administration that does not have a great track record with race and has really worked to try and overcome the people, 'good people on both sides’ image, they are trying to sell hard the economic argument about black unemployment, Hispanic unemployment, you know, criminal justice reform. But I do think they miss sometimes that with issues of race it’s not always dollars and cents, and it’s not always about, you know, we give you money and jobs. There is a, you know, a moral sense here and a — a sense of self, too, that if you degrade people in that way, no matter what you can give them financially, it’s not going to overcome that."
