Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in an interview aired Sunday that he didn’t like what Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said in a hearing on affirmative action.
Scalia had said that affirmative action sent minority students to schools that were too academically challenging.
Trump condemned Scalia’s remarks during an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“I thought it was very tough to the African-American community, actually,” Trump said. “I don’t like what he said. No, I don’t like what he said.”
“I heard him,” Trump continued, “I was like, ‘Let me read it again’ because I actually saw it in print, and I’m going — I read a lot of stuff — and I’m going, ‘Whoa!’ “
