On Thursday's CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish gave a platform to left-wing actor and gay rights activist George Takei to promote his new "graphic memoir" "It Rhymes With Takei" [spoiler alert: gay].
Cornish teed up Takei to equate Trump's deportation of illegal immigrants with FDR's internment of Japanese Americans during World War II (he and his family were interned). Takei said both were based on "lies" and "hysteria" and are "completely anti-American."
Of course, there is a vast difference that Cornish and Takei chose to ignore.
FDR interned Japanese AMERICAN CITIZENS. People who were either born here or were properly naturalized.
Trump is deporting people who are not only not citizens, but who violated American law by entering the country illegally. Many of the illegals being deported committed violent crimes. Does Takei want the rapists and murderers to stay? Cornish didn't ask.

Isn’t it a little racist to bring a guy on TV as a prop just because he is Japanese?

No correlation to equate Trump’s deportation of illegal immigrants with FDR’s internment one was a war the other is an invasion.
Both are destructive the the U.S..
Sit down dumbass!
It IS, that’s right.
George Takei is a standard go-to GloboHomoPedo representative that CNN keeps in the rear, among others.
Fdr interred american citizens based solely on Race. Trump is simply enforcing the law on illegal aliens-— there is no comparison at all Georgie Boy.
Well said.
My mother and her family were in the same internment camp as Takei: Rohwer internment camp. They did not know each other.
She and her family were released sometime in 1944.
Takei and his family were sent to Tule Lake when it became a Segregation Center. If you were sent there, the government suspected you of disloyalty.
Trump recently said 21 million invaded then said it was much more.
I’m afraid the only thing that turns me on about the gentleman is his portrayal of Sulu.

So now the liberals are going to cancel their Patron Saint, FDR?
Also interned Germans and Italians.
An offensively bad comparison!
Who grew our rice while they were interned?
Japanese and Chinese immigrants could not become citizens at that time. I think the law changed in 1951. But children of Japanese immigrants were citizens if born in the US.
He’s right Xi and Putin not amused.
