Following President Donald Trump’s tweets over border wall material and “never abandoned” plans for concrete walls,  CNN contributor Brian Karem could no longer contain his frustration with what he clearly saw as the absurdity of the conversation, calling Trump’s demand for border wall funding “a scam” that was built on a “racist issue.”

The White House correspondent for Playboy Magazine  — and Executive Editor of the Montgomery County Sentinel  — explained that, in his esteem, “this whole issue is a scam from the beginning to end.”

He then explained Trump’s shifting positions on the wall “It was come up with on the campaign trail. It was supposed to be Mexico was going to pay for it. They didn’t. It was going to be 1900 miles long. It isn’t. It was going to be 1,000 miles. It isn’t. It was going to be 500. It isn’t. It was going to be see-through. It was going to be eco-friendly, all of this is just a scam.”

After Karem noted the threat of potential tunnels undermining a potential border wall, fellow panelist Jackie Kucinich offered a more pressing immigration issue of “people overstaying their Visas.”

Karem agreed, before adding that he believes that this is “a racist issue and it boils down to the fact that the Republicans think that those coming in from South America and Central America, when they get here, will vote democratic and they’re afraid of that..”

Former Ted Cruz campaign Communications Director Alice Stewart, took issue with Karem’s explanation saying that it was “not a responsible way to address” this issue.
