Veteran ABC journalist Cokie Roberts on Sunday agreed with a Democratic strategist’s smear that Donald Trump’s “America First” mentality really means “white America First.” Appearing on a This Week panel, Jamal Simmons attacked, “The thing about this all that is so concerning to me is that the President is undermining all these American institutions. He's going after the press, he's going after the judiciary.”

Simmons sneered, “It's starting to make it seem a little bit, also, like ‘America first’ is really ‘white America first.’” Journalist Roberts agreed: “But I think there's a lot of truth to that. And it's interesting because the President himself keeps undermining the possibility of anything seeming normal.”

Roberts then fretted that Trump is “constantly undermining the media.” She lamented, “Congress is not going to stop this president.”
