Trump compared immigrants to an ungrateful snake: he borrowed this idea from the communists

At his rally in Texas, Trump recited the lyrics of a 60s R&B hit to warn against immigration. It was written by a black civil rights activist who was a member of the Communist Party, reports INSIDER.

The crowd erupted into applause after Trump asked if they would like to listen to the song, which he called a poem.

The 1968 soul hit, sung by black Al Wilson, is about a "tender-hearted woman" who saw "a poor half-frozen snake" that bit her savior.

The woman "wrapped her in a silken veil" and "put her by the fireplace with honey and milk."

When the woman returned, the snake "came to life," but "instead of saying thank you, that snake bit her (ooh)," the song's lyrics continue.

When the woman cries and asks the snake why she bit her, the snake replies that the woman knew she was a snake even before she took her.

“And that’s what’s happening in the United States of America with immigration,” Trump said. “I think that’s pretty accurate, don’t you agree?”

Trump has recited the song, using the snake as a metaphor for immigrants, at several rallies.

In 2016, Wilson's daughter, Allen Wilson-Harris, said she was not sure her father would "agree in views" with Trump or his use of the song.

“Although I think he would have at least to some extent appreciated the fact that his music is appreciated by Trump so much that he used this song,” she said.

The song was written by Oscar Brown Jr., an African American activist and musician.

His daughter, Maggie Brown, said she was actually delighted that Trump quoted Wilson's song, adding that she "hates the idea that he's using Oscar's words to create such a platform of his."
