House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said yesterday he does not believe the Trump attacks are racist. Fox News’ Jesse Watters said while his mother views the tweets as racist, “Mom’s not going to scare me off. This, I believe, was Trump’s strategy all along, to create enough of a firestorm that they become the face of the Democratic Party and his own initial attacks become beside the point. I said yesterday on “America’s Newsroom” that news outlets should be cautious about branding Trump’s attacks as racist, as if it were an undisputed fact. CNN, CBS, ABC and, after an internal debate, the Washington Post are among those who have done so in straight news stories and segments.
