Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) presidential campaign resurfaced a 2015 clip of former President Trump saying he was “fine” with affirmative action on Thursday following the Supreme Court’s ruling that struck a blow to the college admissions practice.
The governor’s team posted a clip on the campaign’s war room account from the 2015 interview with then-candidate Trump on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“I’m fine with affirmative action. We’ve lived with it for a long time. And I lived with it for a long time. And I’ve had great relationships with lots of people,” Trump tells host Chuck Todd in the interview.
