White House Condemns Trump's Remarks on 'Bad Genes' and 'Poisoning the Blood'
Oct 7, 2024, 07:32 PM
Former President Donald Trump has faced criticism after making remarks that link crime to genetics and migration. In a recent statement, Trump said, "You know now a murderer, I believe this, it's in their genes. And we've got a lot of bad genes in our country right now." He also stated, "They're poisoning the blood of our country." Critics have interpreted these comments as promoting eugenicist ideas, likening them to Nazi rhetoric. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre condemned the remarks, stating, "That type of language is hateful, it's disgusting, it's inappropriate. It has no place in our country." Some supporters have defended Trump, accusing critics of misrepresenting his words.
