Merriam-Webster: ‘Racism’ Top-Searched Term Wednesday Night

Merriam-Webster said “racism” was the top-searched term last night during and after a rally President Donald Trump held in Greenville, North Carolina. The print and online dictionary tweeted, “Tonight’s top searches, in order: racism, socialism, fascism, concentration camp, xenophobia, bigot”. Trump has come under intense fire from Democrats and Republicans over his tweets last weekend that are being called racist toward four freshmen Democratic members of Congress. Many have denounced the comments, while Trump says they were not meant to be racist. Trump’s controversial tweets included a line that suggested the four Democrats should “go back” to their countries of heritage, fix the problems there, and then return to the U.S.
