During Friday’s “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, host Joe Scarborough reacted to President Donald Trump’s plan to declare a national emergency to build a wall at the southern border, saying the president is “playing on racist fears.”

According to Scarborough, Trump’s campaign “has always been” about people who are not white taking over the United States.

“[I]t’s about brown people it’s about black people, it’s about the others, which Donald Trump’s campaign has always been about those who are not white. They’re coming to [take] the country over … that’s his message.”

He added, “So, it’s not about a wall, it’s not about an emergency, it’s about him being white and playing on racist fears. And it always has been.”
