Trump, Vance go too far as 'bad genes' remark and vow to deport tens of millions sends dark message

Rachel Maddow reports on the increasingly dark picture Donald Trump and JD Vance are painting of their intentions toward immigrants if they are elected to the White House, with Trump describing immigrants as having bad genes that cause them to commit crimes, and Vance proposing deporting tens of millions of people by a means that is hard to imagine wouldn't be inhumane.

"Incitement against ethnic group" is a crime in Sweden. Should be in America as well.

Germany didn't send us their best and brightest when they sent us the Trumps.

Not even 100 years and here we go again…1942 all over again

Bad genes = dog whistle.... again and again and again

[susanadams-wauro]

Well, I guess that explains Trump and Musk....bad genes.

Don't wanna be compared to Hitler. Don't invoke Hitler.

We need legislation against domestic terrorism!

Remember when we used to pretend that this was all about illegal immigration? Seems so long ago now.

I don't understand how a Presidential candidate can say such horrible things and it's ok, this is sick and demented, un American.

Kamala Harris should excite voters by announcing support for legislation that would ban corporations from owning single-family homes.

“Bad genes.” Where have we heard this before?

When they show you who they are: believe them.

The only way to end the nightmare of Trump is to vote, to get everyone you know to vote, and even those you don't know to vote.

Eugenics & forced sterilizations would come next. 😢

This sounds very reminiscent of another wanna be dictator in the 1930s and 1940s, and we all saw how well that ended.

[Chalky.]

And we'll all forget about this story in 3 days when Trump does something equally terrible

When you go back to the thirties and the forties in Europe this sounds frighteningly familiar it’s almost like hearing the rhetoric of one of the dictators of Europe of that time and it is frightening to see that history seems to be repeating itself in the United States

If JD Vance was really "focusing on the future" while sheepishly avoiding important questions from reporters, he would not have hitched his political wagon to a dying horse like Donald Trump.
Trump represents an ugly past. JD condones it with his silence.

[frapi]

Let’s vote. Donate, volunteer. Please, let’s turn the page because this man and his VP puppet are toxic and deranged.

[lillyfitzgerald]

How is it legal to tell such gross lies in public in America? If you allow this, then you have yourselves to blame. He lies deliberately and intentionally for personal gain.
