Even Americans who didn't think the U.S. is racist now know that it is, Waters claimed

Waters blamed former President Donald Trump for taking the nation “backward” and repeated the baseless claim that Trump had identified himself with radical groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan:

“He (Trump) was making racist comments. He was identifying himself with people like the Ku Klux Klan and the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers and the QAnon.

“I mean, that is racism defined in the most obvious way. And so to say that this is not a racist country, maybe he (Scott) meant to say that there are many people who are not racist in this country. But yes, we have a problem with racism and that we must work to do something about it.”
