A plurality of respondents to the Pew poll said it had become more acceptable to express racist views.
The majority of Americans, 56 percent, believe that President Donald Trump has made race relations in the United States worse, according to a new Pew survey out today.
The survey's release came on the same day as the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on “hate crimes, the impact white nationalist groups have on American communities and the spread of white identity ideology.” The president has called Mexican immigrants rapists, said there were good people “on both sides” of the white nationalist marches in Charlottesville, Virginia, and this weekend implied that Jewish Americans practice dual loyalty.
Data from the Anti-Defamation League showed that white supremacists’ propaganda efforts increased 182 percent in 2018 and right-wing extremists were linked to at least 50 murders in the United States last year, making them responsible for more deaths than in any year since 1995. The survey and today’s hearing came just days after Trump ousted former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristjen Nielsen for not being tough enough on border security.
