Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, defended racist grandpa Donald Trump’s administration to expedite refugee status for White South Africans while broadly suspending most other refugee programs. CNN’s Victor Blackwell wasn’t having it.
The 59 Afrikaners who were somehow granted refugee status by the Trump administration arrived in the US on Monday. The white genocide conservatives are pushing is absolute bullshit. Just ask Errol Musk, Elon’s father, who amassed a fortune during the apartheid era in South Africa. Good old Errol worked in industries that benefited from the policies of racial segregation and discrimination. But the white Afrikaners are claiming that they are being persecuted, even though there is no evidence of that.
Blackwell played a clip of Donald claiming the white farmers are being “treated brutally,” adding that “we’ll make a home for other people that are treated badly, no matter what their color.”
Sure thing, Spanky.
“Despite the president’s repeated reference, can we just start this conversation by agreeing that Afrikaners are not facing genocide?” Blackwell asked.
“Absolutely not. First of all, I have to correct the facts, Victor,” McLaughlin insisted. “You said that no refugees were let in under President Donald Trump since January 20, 8,666 individuals have been granted asylum.”
