‘That’s Not True!’ Trump Adviser AJ Delgado Loses It When Chris Hayes Says Racists Support Trump
During tonight’s broadcast of All In, host Chris Hayes kinda set Trump senior adviser AJ Delgado off when he mentioned that while it was inaccurate to say most Donald Trump supporters are racist, it was true that the majority of white supremacists in America “flock to Donald Trump.”
After showing a bit of Trump’s rally this evening in Ohio, Hayes wanted to know if Delgado agreed with some of what Republican strategist Rick Wilson had said previously about Trump supporters being older and white supremacists. She dismissed Wilson’s analysis by highlighting she’s a Latina in her 30s.
Delgado switched over to discussing what Trump means to the Republican Party and that his brand of politics will be what prevails in the GOP going forward, stating that he isn’t like Mitt Romney and George W. Bush who favor the rich.
This led to Hayes pointing out that Trump’s tax plan actually is more skewed to the rich than Bush’s, something Delgado denied. After the MSNBC host told her it was true, he then moved on to the Alt-Right’s attraction to the GOP nominee.
After saying the people who are racists and white supremacists are “overwhelmingly and very publicly supporting Donald Trump,” Delgado shot back, saying “that’s not true,” leading to all three members of the panel to begin shouting over each other.
Eventually, Delgado was able to be heard over the other two, and began telling a story about someone she knows who is out of work, using that as an example of what we should be talking about. She then asked, “Can we talk about the real issues?”
After Wilson brought up how David Duke and the rest of the Alt-Right movement continue to flock towards Trump, the Trump adviser sarcastically exclaimed, “And this makes a difference in the average voters’ lives how?”
Following a bit more back-and-forth, the conversation toned down a bit, with Hayes changing the subject. This led to an exchange where Hayes jokingly noted that Trump watches a lot of TV, with AJ explaining that he likes to be informed and he’s a “voracious reader and he watches cable news.”
AJ Delgado is a former Mediaite columnist.
