Senator McConnell Says President Trump is Not a Racist

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tells reporters on Capitol Hill that President Trump "is not a racist." He was responding to questions about President Trump's criticism in recent days of four minority Democratic lawmakers telling them to "go back" to the countries they came from if they don't like it here in the U.S. Three of the four congresswomen were born in the U.S., the third is a naturalized citizen. Senator McConnell also calls for a lowering of the temperature of the "incendiary rhetoric" from all quarters, saying that it is "not good for the country." close
