Kaine: Trump Either Holds Sincerely Racist Views or Thinks Racial Division Helps Politically

During an interview set to air on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday, Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) stated President Trump has tried to divide people based on race and either holds sincerely racist beliefs or believes it is politically advantageous to stoke division.

Kaine said, “There is a concerted effort that he has been engaged in to divide people, including dividing them based on race.

… I think he has stoked division.

Kaine answered, “I do not know him.

So, whether it’s a sincere feeling, or whether he thinks it gets him some political edge or gain, I don’t know the answer.
