Deputy press secretary claims Trump had not heard the racist language of video he tweeted that was posted for nearly four hours
The tweet was deleted after it drew fierce criticism from across the political spectrum, including from Tim Scott of South Carolina, the sole African American Republican in the Senate.
“There’s no question that he should not have retweeted it and he should just take it down,” Scott told CNN’s “State of the Union” program.
“It was so profanity laced, the entire thing was offensive. Certainly, the comment about the white power was offensive. It’s indefensible. We should take it down.”
I NEVER SAID AND I WAS KIDDING WITCH, HUNT, I NEVER DO, SO THERE (June 28) —
You know, white POWDER. Snow!
Needles to say, I did not think cocaine.
(Which I never tried. As you know.)
I thought the guy was skiing,
riding a snowmobile.
Some of my best servants are Black.
So come on, what’s the big deal?
How can anyone say I’m a racist?
After all, I'm my daddy’s son.
My father, although he was kind of a NAZI,
rented apartments to anyone
white and not overbright.
That’s how slumlording is done.
Don’t believe me? Just go ask Jared.
Jared. My favorite son.
Whose one of the chosen ones.
