Meanwhile, Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., continues to spark controversy with his comments that compared Syrian refugees to poisoned Skittles. On Monday, he tweeted a graphic reading, “If I had a bowl of Skittles and I told you just three would kill you. Would you take a handful? That’s our Syrian refugee problem.” Now, the man who shot the photo of the Skittles in the graphic has come forward, revealing he himself is a former refugee. David Kittos lives in Britain. He said, “In 1974, when I was six years old, I was a refugee from the Turkish occupation of Cyprus, so I would never approve the use of this image against refugees.” The parent company of Skittles has also pushed back against the tweet, saying, “Skittles are candy. Refugees are people. We don’t feel it’s an appropriate analogy.”
