Trump’s rhetoric and policies exacerbated racial tensions | Flash Points

Washington Post published this video item, entitled “Trump’s rhetoric and policies exacerbated racial tensions | Flash Points” – below is their description.

Biden has promised to be “a president for all Americans.” Kamala Harris has broken three barriers: She is the first woman, first Asian American and first Black person to serve as vice president. Biden’s Cabinet is on a path to being historically diverse. He has pledged to confront white supremacy and advance racial justice. He was quick to condemn hate crimes against Asian Americans.

Trump fought to preserve Confederate symbols and was slow to denounce extremists. He championed criminal justice reform, signing legislation that would grant early releases to thousands of prisoners, but also urged prosecutors to pursue the most severe penalties available. His administration rolled back efforts to counter voter suppression, repealed fair housing rules and abandoned investigations into police misconduct.

Watch to get an in-depth look at how Trump policies and rhetoric exacerbated racial tensions, with analysis from national reporter Vanessa Williams and national security reporter Matt Zapotosky.
