CNN’s Turner Defends DNC After Trump Said Convention Painted U.S. as Racist: ‘This Country Is Racist!’

‘It is a nation that stole the land from indigenous people’

EXCERPT:

TURNER: “You read my mind, Anderson. I mean, the country doesn't need to be redeemed. I don’t which convention he was looking at though but this country definitely needs to be redeemed. This country is racist. It’s rooted in racism. When we talk about the story of immigration, it’s not some pretty picture, it is a country that was founded on the backs and the blood and the sweat and the tears of enslaved Africans and in the first generation born on this soil of African-Americans for generations. It is a nation that stole the land from indigenous people. I mean, come on, we’re trying to get to the high ideas but we’re not quite there yet. So, I’m not surprised that President Trump would paint the Democratic convention in that way. That is what he does.”
