CBS’s Schieffer calls Trump a racist

Bob Schieffer
CBS News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer called Donald Trump a racist for questioning President Obama’s academic qualifications. After being made to look stupid on the question of the President’s birth, Trump is galavanting around New Hampshire saying things like “I heard he (Obama) was a terrible student, terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard? I'm thinking about it, I'm certainly looking into it. Let him show his records.”

Schieffer, appearing on the CBS Evening News, called Trump’s remarks “absurd.”

“That's just code for saying he got into law school because he's black.” Schieffer said. “This is an ugly strain of racism that's running through this whole thing. We can hope that kind of comes to an end too, but we'll have to see.
