"It just seemed like news that Trump was raving in Nassau County about driving out people who came from "the Congo....Africa..the Middle East...Asia," and then it seemed even more like news that none of the coverage mentioned it defector.com/where-racism..."

  The former and would-be future president continued: 
  
  They're coming from the Congo, they're coming from Africa, they're coming from the Middle East, they're coming from all over the world—Asia! A lot of it coming from Asia. And what's happening to our country is we're just destroying the fabric of life in our country, and we're not going to take it any longer, and you got to get rid of these people. Give me a shot.
  
  This was spectacularly racist, explicitly racist against the majority of all the nonwhite people on Earth, the most racist thing I'd seen a presidential candidate—Donald Trump included—say in my lifetime. It was a barrage straight out of a Ku Klux Klan rally: Congo! Africa! Middle East! Asia! We're not going to take it any longer! Get rid of these people!"

  I would have said it was obviously shocking, except both shock and obviousness have become tenuous concepts in American politics. When I went to look up references to the quote after seeing it go by on social media, I began to worry that the original poster might have made it up for clout; I saw no mention of Trump talking about "the Congo" last night on Google News or in major reporters' Twitter accounts. 
  
  But I went to C-SPAN and there Trump was, saying it. The Nassau County crowd—in what the New York Post recently reported that U.S. News had rated the safest community in the country—cheered as Trump vowed to drive out the immigrant crime menace. "November 5 will be your Liberation Day," he told them."
