Fox News’ Chris Wallace brings the receipts after White House acting chief of staff insists Trump is ‘not a white supremacist’

Mick Mulvaney, the Acting White House Chief of Staff, claimed on Fox News Sunday that President Trump is not a white supremacist.

Host Chris Wallace noted that some critics claim that the president “has contributed to an anti-Muslim climate,” including a statement from Senator and 2020 hopeful Kirsten Gillibrand, where she said, “time and time again, this president has embraced and emboldened white supremacists—and instead of condemning racist terrorists, he covers for them.”

Trump, asked if he sees white nationalism as a growing threat around the world: “I don’t really. I think it’s a small group of people.”
