Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) told comic and political pundit Bill Maher that President Donald Trump is “a racist” who prefers White migrants and disfavors Black and Brown people coming to America.

On Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the interview guest was Barry Diller, co-founder of Fox Broadcasting, chairman and senior executive of IAC and Expedia Group, and author of the book “Who Knew.”

The panel guests were Jake Tapper, anchor of CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper” and co-author of “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again”; and Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA).

During the show’s “Overtime” segment, Moulton went off on Trump, and called him racist for his use of the absurd claim that White South African “Afrikaners” are victims of “genocide” as a way to justify accepting them as refugees while turning away other groups:

BILL MAHER: What does the panel think of the Supreme Court ruling that the Trump administration can revoke legal status for 500,000 immigrants who have been granted parole for human parole. That’s a strange word for that for humanitarian reasons.

What they’re talking about is 500,00 people that the Biden administration let in from I think Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti. And Afghanistan. And Venezuela.

REP. SETH MOULTON: Well, but also– from Afghanistan, for people who risked their lives, not just for Afghanistan, but for the United States of America, who served all… I would not be here today if not for the translators that I had in Iraq. I’m sure. They saved our lives more than once. And that’s why veterans are so pissed off about this, because we’ve fought like hell to get them out of Afghanistan, and now Trump wants to just send them back home to that murderous regime where they’ll be killed.

And it’s not just in Afghanistan, but that just shows how morally corrupt he is. And now look, let’s be honest, he’s a racist! He doesn’t like Black or brown people coming into the United States. White Afrikaners, sure. Roll out the red carpet. But Black or Brown people? Nope not allowed

JAKE TAPPER: The way that the U.S. Has treated the Afghan allies not just now but also at right after the collapse of of Kabul in August twenty twenty one it’s it’s not just a disgrace and it’s not just the violation of a promise that was made to these people. It’s also bad thinking because we will be less likely as a country next time we have one of these forays into foreign policy abroad. We’ll be less likely to have people who will help us in whatever country it is because they will know that we didn’t honor our promises last time.

REP. SETH MOULTON: I remember one of these conversations really well, where my translator showed up for work and he said, I can’t work for you anymore. My family’s been threatened, they’re gonna kill everybody at home.

And I had to make the case to him that we’re the United States of America, we’ve got your back. And he bravely kept working for us. And I fought like hell to get him to America. He’s worried he might get sent by

BILL MAHER: Well, we don’t have a great history of sticking by our promises.

JAKE TAPPER: No, same happened in Vietnam.

BILL MAHER: And the Kurds. Remember the Kurd’s? Promised them a lot?

REP. SETH MOULTON: Yeah, although, to be fair, we took In a lot of Vietnamese refugees, and they’re around Northern Virginia today, and they’re great contributors to our society. I mean, let’s also not forget what immigrants do. I mean immigrants founded Google, eBay, right? I mean they’re great contributors our economy, to our our society, we are a country of immigrants.
