The White House on Tuesday continued to push back against accusations that President Trump was a racist — with his spokeswoman citing his decade-long stint on reality TV as evidence.
“I think that is an outrageous claim, and frankly I think if the critics of the president were who he said he was [sic], why did NBC give him a show for a decade on TV?” Sarah Huckabee Sanders asked reporters, referring to “The Apprentice” and apparently meaning that the president was not the person his critics had described.
“Why did they want to be with him for years and years in various activities whether it was events, fundraisers and other things? It’s just an outrageous and ludicrous excuse.”
Sanders was replying to Sen. Chuck Schumer, who said Monday on CBS’s “Late Show” that Trump could prove he was not a racist by signing an immigration bill to protect the Dreamers from deportation.
“Why did Chuck Schumer and all of his colleagues come and beg Donald Trump for money?” she added.
Trump, Sanders added, was “not going to apologize for trying to fix our immigration system,” as the fallout continued over his reported comment that Haiti, El Salvador and some African nations were “shithole countries.”

He doesn’t have to prove anything to anybody.
Businesses alleged to be bigots are sued into oblivion. I doubt Trump was intolerant as the media exaggerate him to be.
Bob Fredericks of the New York Post is a racist apparently according to sources.
Bob Fredericks columns are anti-Trump garbage, and the NY Post is becoming more pc.
What an awful headline.
There is a good graphic that someone has been posting lately — Trump having a jovial meeting with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. The Caption is: “No one thought he was a racist until he ran against Hillary”.
Stop explaining yourself. Stop saying “I’m not a racist.”
Instead, start beating the dog out of these lowlifes. Draw blood. It’s the only way this crap stops.
Why did every prominent black American line-up to have a photo taken with him?
He should just stick with “least racist.” That rings true.
He must have bribed them. Sarc
Although most of them were/are bribe-able.
Check out his show. I used to, years ago, comment that his reality show from start to finish was more pro black than any of the others. And remember, he couldn’t blame it on the American public, either. We never voted, it was all up to Trump who stayed and who won.
American Idol often ditched all their black candidates or all but one half way through the season. A couple black people won though. Black Biggest Loser contestants were gone first, usually. I think they just didn’t stand for the sh*t as much and were smarter. ;)
Trump sometimes ended up with more black than white contestants. And he was solely responsible for that.
That is the most twisted headline I have seen in months.
Totally F ‘ed up.
The whole notion is silly. Trump not only put up with but encouraged Omarosa, that arrogant, entitled cinder of a human being on The Apprentice. The he gave her some kind of slot in his administration, from which she blew out in a fit of pique. Even blacks trash her. To wit:
“Moreover, our giddiness over the plight of Omarosa isn’t even about Omarosa. She is a medium into which we have channeled our disdain for a racist regime that seeks to place its foot on the neck of nonwhite America. She chose this.”
Obama sure brought us together, neh?
That’s the face of a man I would expect to open his raincoat at women in the park...
No, he doesn't. So why is Huckabee Sanders out there with idiotic arguments like this?
