Clinton Advisor: GOP Candidates ‘Against Everybody Who’s Not a White Man’

Former Clinton White House advisor Richard Socarides said on CNN’s New Day that Republican presidential candidates appear to be against “everybody who’s not a white man.”

“The issue the Republicans face is that they are– every candidate seems to be against women, every candidate seems to be against everybody who’s not a white man,” Socarides said. “I mean, the Republican Party has got this challenge in the primary.”

It’s worth noting that a number of Republican candidates, including Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson, and Bobby Jindal, are themselves “not a white man.”
