"Absolutely, Lawrence. As everyone else stated on the show, it’s been obvious for a long time from the long arc of his dad to redling to the Central Park Five to birtherism to this stuff today, this guy, he's racist adjacent in of the best day of his life," Wilson is explained.

"This is full on racist and you can’t avoid it, you can't pretend it doesn’t exist," he noted.

"They have to seriously go in and say to themselves, 'I know this guy is one pointy white hat short of a clan rally and I know this guy is an outright, overt, flagrant racist and that is the end of the day. That's decision folks have to make in the voting booth come November of next year and one that has a lot of consequences that are not only for Trump, but the Republican Party," Wilson explained.
