At his Texas rally, Trump recited the lyrics to 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.

Donald Trump once again used "The Snake" to push anti- immigrants sentiment at a rally in Texas on Saturday.

The crowd applauded when Trump asked if they wanted to hear the song.

The 1968 soul hit, which was sung by Al Wilson, a Black man, is about a tender-hearted woman who saw a poor half-frozen snake and took it in.

The woman wrapped him up all cozy and laid him by the fire with some honey and milk.

When the woman returned, the snake wasvived, but she didn't say thanks because it gave her a vicious bite.

The snake replies that she knew he was a snake before she took him in, when the woman cries and asks why he bit her.

I think it is accurate, do you agree?

At multiple rallies throughout his first bid for president, Trump has used the snake as a metaphor for immigrants.

Wilson's daughter, Alene Wilson-Harris, told Business Insider that she was not sure if her father would see eye-to-eye with Trump.

While I think that he would have had at least some appreciation for the fact that his music is appreciated by Trump to the extent that he would utilize the song, there are some things in my father's life that may have been interesting.

Oscar Brown Jr., an African-American activist and musician, wrote the song.

His daughter,Maggie Brown, told PBS she was relieved that Trump cited the song to Wilson, adding that she hated the idea of him using Oscar's words to create such a platform.

She said to "Wait until Republicans find out that he is quoting a former Black nationalist and former communist party member."
