Related: About this forumO'Malley to Lewandowski: US isn't an 'only-for-white Americans sort of country'
Former Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley on Sunday chided ex-Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski over the GOP nominee's immigration policies, saying the US isn't an "only-for-white Americans sort of country."
O'Malley, a former Maryland governor, appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday with Lewandowski, Trump's campaign manager until he was fired in June.
Lewandowski, a CNN contributor, called his former boss "a raw talent."
That prompted O'Malley to criticize Trump over his proposal to block Syrian refugees from entering the US, retorting "he's raw, but it's not talent." O'Malley added, "It's the rawness of scapegoating others. The man finally comes out with his first political campaign of the season, and it's attacking Syrian refugees."

The Irish only became "white" in, what, the 1920s?

The racist Immigration Act of 1924 was aimed primarily at Southern and Eastern Europeans. When I was in school in the '80s and '90s, "Polack" was commonly used as a term for a stupid person.

A two-bit thug like Lewandowski is no match for an old Baltimore politician.

Great guy, though. I can't wait to see what he does in the future.
