Gross Irony of the Day: Donald Trump Calls Ted Cruz an “Anchor Baby”

Now he’s spewing bigotry at the other candidates
Politics • Views: 57,926

Remember when all the GOP candidates were racing to the bottom to match Donald Trump’s bigotry, after Trump defiantly refused to stop using the blatantly offensive slur “anchor babies?”

Well, now the Trumpenstein is hauling out this racially-charged slur again, but this time he’s flinging it at one of the other GOP candidates: Trump: Cruz is an ‘anchor baby.’

“Ted Cruz may not be a U.S. citizen,” Trump said at a town hall in New Hampshire.

“Ted Cruz is an anchor baby in Canada, but Canada doesn’t accept anchor babies.”

The term “anchor babies” has been used by Trump and others to describe the children of parents who came to America so that their child could be a U.S. citizen by birth.

Trump faced significant criticism over the summer for using the term in his call to seal the borders but has doubled down and said he’ll continue to use the word.
