The president then turned to walk away. Trump has accused immigrants of being rapists numerous times in the past, most notably as he announced his candidacy for president in 2015, where he said, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” Watch Trump’s exchange with reporters: twitter.com, offering no evidence to support the claim.
