> He never said all Mexicans are rapists etc, he was speaking about border security and describing the people illegally entering the country through the Southern Border.

No he didn't. This is exactly the kind of straw-manning that your GP was talking about.
> They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

Yes he did.

Did you read the quote you just posted? It says "And some, I assume, are good people." As in "not literally all of them are rapists".
