Rep. Gallego Blames Trump for Barr Tweet: ‘A Problem That’s Happening Because of the Trump Admin.’

‘We need to punish these acts so people understand this is not acceptable’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BLITZER: "Let's turn to another important story we're reporting on today. ABC has cancelled Roseanne Barr highly rated show. What are your thoughts on the decision?"
GALLEGO: "Number one, it's the right decision. They should have fired her a long time ago. She did tweet out or sent pictures out that were anti semitic. She made fun of several African-American women politician before. I'm glad this is done. This is a problem that's happening now because of the Trump administration or Donald Trump, not the Trump administration. We've seen increasing amounts of racist rhetoric being thrown out. Other people claiming of using racist vile. After I'm done with this show, I will get called some horrible Latino slurs because I'm talk about the president. This president has brought it to be openly racist. That has given signal to some closet. Racist. We need to punish these acts so people understand this is not acceptable."
