In an interview on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” that aired Monday morning, former President Donald Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her policies on the southern border and suggested that migrants have “bad genes.”
“When you look at the things that she proposes, they’re so far off she has no clue. How about allowing people to come to an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers,” he said, referring to the vice president’s immigration proposals.
“Many of them murdered far more than one person, and they’re now happily living in the United States,” he added. “You know, now a murderer, I believe this, it’s in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now. They left, they had 425,000 people come into our country that shouldn’t be here, that are criminals.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre slammed Trump for his “hateful speech,” saying President Joe Biden and Harris would “continue to forcefully reject” this kind of rhetoric.
“That type of language is hateful, it’s disgusting, it’s inappropriate and has no place in our country,” Jean-Pierre said at Monday’s press briefing. “This comes from the same vile statements that we’ve had, that we’ve heard about migrants being poison, poisoning the blood — that’s disgusting.”
