Democrat Senator Mazie Hirono says that Trump supporters are “white supremacists.”
Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono, a Democrat, told MSNBC on Monday that she believes Trump is carrying out policies she has deemed racist because his base is "very anti-immigrant" and racist. She claimed his policies are designed to appease the "white supremacists" that got him elected. "We now have three crises that we’re having to deal with, and it’s a pandemic, we have an economic crisis, we have police brutality and systemic racism crisis. And so what’s happening is that really covering for the president and his failures is the operating principle for his enablers. ... We should be dealing with the pandemic, with the opening of schools." Hirono said. "You just did a perfect coverage on the concerns that everyone has about schools reopening. We should be dealing with the economic crisis. And we should be dealing with the racism that is in our country, to which the president speaks to because he has a base of supporters who are very anti-immigrant
