bigotry or racism that we have encountered and we see, I was reading a Harvard study recently, that that dark strain in our country, that Scaramucci is getting a little something wrong here, which is there is a lot of people in America on both sides of the aisle who are seeing the deal that worked for my parents and grandparents isn't working for me.

Donald Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly went to the wealthiest corporations and individuals.
