As writer Philip Bump explained with data in a recent blog post, this racist, whitewashed claim conveniently excludes non-European immigrants — both those who came voluntarily and those, like enslaved Africans, who did not — whose brilliance and backbreaking labor, along with those of Native tribes, literally built the United States.

The truth is that the U.S. has never been the homogenous white, European utopia Schmitt’s speech envisions. Since Day 1, the United States has not achieved lasting progress without contributions from the non-European immigrants whose Americanness the freshman senator from Missouri sees fit to question.

But Trump’s Republican Party has promoted and empowered unabashed white supremacists known to preach, as Schmitt did, about the purported superiority of white Europeans and their descendants. It’s a cynical play that aims to groom white Americans to believe they are at war in defense of a fictional history that exists only in their imagination.
