3:51Now PlayingDonald Trump Jr. recently compared Syrian refugees to a bowl of Skittles. As one tweeter observed, the douche doesn’t fall far from the bag. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Donald Trump Jr. is facing intense backlash on social media after he posted a message on Twitter Monday night that compared Syrian refugees to a bowl of Skittles sprinkled with a few that “would kill you.”
Mr. Trump, a top adviser in his father’s presidential campaign, appeared to suggest that the nation was faced with a blind selection process in which a few potentially poisoned pieces would be lurking among the thousands of Syrians fleeing a brutal five-year-old civil war.
