CNN reporter Nia-Malika Henderson stated Monday that President Trump uses culture wars to rally his “largely white” base.

In reference to President Trump’s remarks on Hillary Clinton Monday, Henderson states, “He’s essentially saying she was on the wrong side of the culture war, and it’s something that you’ve heard Bannon talk about, this idea that if you get Democrats talking about race and racism, that Republicans have an answer for that.”

“And Donald Trump does have an answer for that. He very much revels in the culture wars. It’s something I think that unifies his base, which is largely white, which really straddles all economic classes, as well as largely evangelical Christian as well. So he knows he’s on firm ground — so I thought that was an apt diagnosis in many ways in one of the reasons, at least, that contributed to Hillary Clinton’s loss,” she added.
