A Fox Business host’s claim about former President Donald Trump is being called part of the “Great American Forgetting Project.”
While discussing President Joe Biden’s “semi-fascism” remark about the MAGA movement last week with “One Nation” host Brian Kilmeade, Sean Duffy name-dropped several politicians who Trump attacked, including former President George Bush and late Sen. John McCain. But Duffy suggested Trump kept himself in check.
“He went after people individually, but he never went after a whole group of people,” Duffy said. “The Donald Trump voter, the MAGA voter who loves America, salutes the flag, stands for the national anthem, works hard ― Joe Biden goes after 70 million plus voters, politically, Brian, is insanity.”

Despite Duffy’s claim, Trump has criticized groups of people in the past, including remarks he made about Mexicans in his first speech as a presidential candidate in 2015 and his “shithole” countries comment about Haiti and the entire continent of Africa. During a 2016 Republican debate, he also claimed “a lot” of Muslims hate the U.S.
Trump’s many derogatory statements about certain groups of people weren’t lost on Twitter users, either:
