4:25Now PlayingEd Martin’s reasoning for why it’s not racist to hate Mexicans is priceless. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Over the weekend, St. Louis' Tea Party joined forces with the miasma of American anxiety that is the Trump movement. At a rally Sunday at a Festus Harley-Davidson dealership, some 200 patriots who really, really hate Hillary Clinton listened to a succession of speeches delivered by a string of local conservative luminaries who also really, really hate Hillary Clinton.
But it wasn't all Benghazi and email scandals. Ed Martin, the former head of the Missouri Republican Party and a key figure in the chaos overtaking conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum, took the time to explain to the crowd that there is nothing racist about disliking Mexicans.
Really.
"Donald Trump is for Americans first," said Martin. "He’s for us first. It is not selfish to support, or to be for, your neighbor, as opposed to someone from another nation. And Mexico, Mexicans, that's not a race. You’re not racist if you don’t like Mexicans. They're from a nation."
