Trump campaign looking into staffer over Facebook posts
The Hill ^ | 07/31/2015 | Elliot Smilowitz

Businessman Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is investigating reports that a campaign staffer wrote racially charged Facebook posts, CNN reported Friday evening.

Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told the network that if confirmed to be true, advisor Sam Nunberg will be fired.  "They were offensive and they do not reflect Mr. Trump's position and we take them very seriously," Lewandowski said. "If it determined that Mr. Nunberg made these statements, then he will no longer be part of the campaign."

Posts unearthed by Business Insider reportedly show Nunberg calling Rev. Al Sharpton’s daughter the n-word, calling President Obama a “Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser” and referring to the president as “Kenyan” and “Muslim.” Many of the posts date back to 2007 and 2008.

Nunberg denies writing the posts, according to CNN, saying that "I am not adept at social media.”

Apparently adept enough to cost him his job.

Well, I hope he didn’t use the n-word. But I don’t see anything wrong with calling Obama a “Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser.” a “Kenyan” or a “Muslim.”

The truth hurts.

You cannot use the n-word.

Only Obama and other blacks are allowed to do that.

Nothing racist about this:

calling President Obama a “Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser” and referring to the president as “Kenyan” and “Muslim

Obama is a "Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser” and is of “Kenyan” and “Muslim" extract.

Not nice to use the n word in any case, although the Marxist Islamofascist does himself.

Has the "I didn't post that" defense EVER worked?

N-word wrong to use about anyone, but worthless waste of oxygen is good for her and her father.

She’s the one who sued NYC for $5 million, because SHE tripped on a sidewalk. Then got caught doing aerobics or something about 6 weeks into the case.

Like father, like daughter.

"I would also point out that all of these things were done before Mr. Trump's campaign, if I even did them — which I deny,” he added.

The follow up sounds ever worse.

Al Sharpton and his con-artist daughter are two of the most villainous, disgusting garbage this country has ever produced. Any words he may or may not have been used are far too mild.

Yup. “I didn’t post it. No siree, Bob! I don’t even know how to use those newfangled com-put-er things. And even if I did post it, it was before the campaign, so who cares? But I didn’t post it.”
