The former president called standing up against critical race theory as a 'matter of national survival.'
called on his supporters to"lay down their lives" to fight against critical race theory during his rally in Florence, South Carolina, on Saturday night.
The former president rallied his base by criticizing Republican lawmakers who have opposed him, and doubled down on his hardline conservative positions including CRT, which is the study of institutional racism in the legal system. The subject has emerged as a hot button issue for conservatives who argue it is divisive and shouldn't be taught in schools. Others, however, say the concept is only taught in higher education.
During the rally, Trump invoked CRT as being a"matter of national survival," calling on his supporters to fight to keep it"out of our schools." "We have no choice. The fate of any nation ultimately depends on the willingness of its citizens to lay down and they must do this—lay down their very lives to defend their country," he said."If we allow the Marxists and commies and socialists to teach our children to hate America, there will be no one left to defend our flag or to protect our great country or its freedom."
