Interviewed by a radio host, the Republican candidate for the White House assured that his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, currently vice president of the United States, had let thousands of “murderers” into the country, through her immigration policy.

“Many of them have murdered many more people and they are now living peacefully in the United States,” declared Donald Trump. Before adding: “These murders, you know, I think it's in their genes. »

“And we have a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” he said.

At her daily press briefing, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre blasted “vile, disturbing, hateful speech” that “has no place in our country.”

In this campaign, the former Republican president is using increasingly violent rhetoric towards migrants, multiplying lies and untruths.

According to him, the country is suffering from an “invasion” of migrants, whom he accuses of all evils: “raping young American girls”, “poisoning the blood” of the United States, eating domestic animals.

During his first campaign for the White House, in 2015, Donald Trump had already shocked with his comments about illegal migrants as “rapists”.

He had then promised to build a huge wall along the 3,000 kilometers of border that separates Mexico from the United States to prevent migrants from entering American soil. A project that never came to fruition.
