Emerging story

In a clip from a DNC speech in August 2020, O'Rourke said that Trump is the most racist president in U.S. history.

Some outlets and many social media users believe this implies that, since some presidents owned enslaved persons, O’Rourke claimed that Trump is more racist than slaveholders.

The claim soon went viral on social media.
