Donald Trump: Black Political Pundit Tavis Smiley is ‘Racist’
Mediaite ^ | 1/12/16 | Lindsey Ellefson

Posted on 01/12/2016 7:57:53 PM PST by Impala64ssa

Republican front-running presidential candidate Donald Trump hit back at prolific talk-show host Tavis Smiley, who called him “an unrepentant, irascible, religious and racial arsonist” on a recent episode of This Week on ABC.

That Smiley would discuss Trump’s perceived racial arson is not surprising considering he was appearing on George Stephanopoulos‘s show to discuss his latest book, The Covenant With Black America: Ten Years Later. As Smiley’s book tour rolls on, Trump’s history publicly pursuing his detractors indicates that this battle will see more airtime very soon.

Despite being a liberal I think Tavis is an extremely good interviewer. If he is racist then why are there usually whites being interviewed on his show? Even a wacko is capable of bringing out the best in an interview if they will shut up long enough to bring out the best in the person being interviewed.

First Trump outed Hillary who was swinging the feminist card at him as a sexist and now he goes after Smiley who swung the race card as a racist. Liberals are the racists and the sexists of society. They are the haters and the dividers.

So glad Trump is not afraid of them!!!!! It’s time for them to sit down and shut up after seven years of hate and scapegoating for power. They have ruined lives with inciting violence and making false charges against the people they hate. It’s sickening that Obama has fueled this fire.

Just who does Tavis Interview?

Crazy Black Activists, Liberal Academics, James Taylor just last week. The cream of the crop of Conservative thinking, NOT!

He did Interview Mel Brooks once. I watched that and it didn’t turn Political, for once.

I have seen a few shows and I notice that Tavis likes to use big words that make him sound like an Intellect. Fail.

Yep, and Trump nailed him on something I’ve known for years.

Thank God someone is finally starting to open this can of worms too.

THIS is one of the reasons I support Trump like I do.

I will not abandon a person standing up for me against these types of people.

Go Trump.

There is an interview with this particularly boyish looking woman on one of the video sites. She/he is just what you would expect. I think it is on real clear. Stumbled across it earlier today. Don’t worry, we can clearly see her face. A day or two and we will know the back story of who she is and why she was there. Doesn’t look like a Jeb voter, rather like a woman of my persuasion. (I am a dude).

He is. Listen to his interview with Megan Kelly. Everything wrong in Black America is someone else fault.

I have only seen a few of them. Kevin Costner was one of them. Great interview and Tavis did not get into politics. He just did his job. Great interview.

Someone, who is black and advises Trump, told him this was a GOOD thing to say to garner additional black support.

According to blacks I know.. it is!
