Trump is 'very comfortable' fostering fears of 'white genocide': conservative analyst

Conservative journalist David Weigel, who writes for Semafor, was stunned by President Donald Trump's willingness to believe right-wing talking points about "white genocide" in South Africa.

Weigel appeared as part of the panel on CNN's State of the Union on Tuesday, where Manu Raju played a clip of Trump defending his decision to grant refugee status to Afrikaner farmers.

"They happen to be white. But whether they're white or Black, makes no difference to me," Trump said Monday.
