Trump Adviser: Immigration Comments Were ‘Potentially and Partially True’

How high is celebrity plutocrat Donald Trump raising the bar of electoral politics? According to his adviser Michael Cohen, that his comments alleging Mexican immigrants comprised largely rapists and murderers might be true makes them a salient talking point.

“It may not be nice, but it happens to be potentially and partially true,” Cohen said.

“Partially true is not enough true,” New Day host Chris Cuomo objected, “not for him if he wants to be a leader.”

“Well, maybe that’s correct,” Cohen said.

For the record: it’s not true. Trump 2016!

"I think @realDonaldTrump is the voice of the silent majority," Trump adviser @MichaelCohen212 tells @ChrisCuomo. http://t.co/djDIUUDWzq
