Where did you read that? I do not believe he did that; although he was photographed smiling broadly at Brak and Moo as if to congratulate him.
I’m not sure if he did or didn’t. He didn’t deny it when asked. He said, ‘You never know...” or some such.
It would seem like an easy question to answer. He was on a Black talk show.
The guy is too clever by half here, trying to be cool.
