White House condemns Republican candidate and former president’s remarks as ‘hateful’ and ‘disgusting’.
US presidential contender Donald Trump has sparked uproar with more anti-immigrant rhetoric, claiming there are thousands of immigrants with murder convictions spreading “bad genes” in the United States.
Trump made the comments in a radio interview with conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt on Monday while blasting the immigration policies of his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.
He said 13,000 “murderers” had crossed through the US’s “open borders” and were “happily living” in the country.
“You know now, a murderer – I believe this – it’s in their genes. We’ve got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” Trump told Hewitt.
