WATCH: Aaron Guckian Goes Full MAGA, Says that Rhode Island Can’t Afford to Import “Lower Class” People

In shocking and offensive comments delivered on LiveNow from Fox last week, Republican nominee for governor Aaron Guckian said that Rhode Island is “importing people who are lower class” who are making the state unaffordable.

The comments are straight out of the Trump playbook – a dog whistle demonizing “lower class” people and immigrants instead of offering real solutions to actually bring down the cost of housing and health care for working families. And they make clear that Guckian as governor would rather attack hardworking Rhode Islanders struggling to make ends meet than take action to build a more affordable and welcoming state.

WATCH Aaron Guckian go full MAGA on Fox News:

“Aaron Guckian is officially running to be the Donald Trump of Rhode Island,” said DGA spokesperson Kevin Donohoe. “A month from the election, Guckian is going full MAGA, attacking Rhode Island’s working families instead of offering real solutions to make the state more affordable. Guckian’s comments are hateful, out-of-touch – and show he would just be another MAGA politician who imitates Donald Trump and does nothing to lower costs.”

Aaron Guckian: We are, you know, exporting right now, wealth, right, and we’re importing people that, you know, are unfortunately lower class, and we can’t afford it. We can’t afford this anymore.
