The Hill ^ | August 14, 2018 | Jacqueline Thomsen

Comedian and magician Penn Jillette said in a new interview that he heard President Trump "say racially insensitive things that made [him] uncomfortable" during tapings of "Celebrity Apprentice" as new claims from ex-White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman, a former contestant on "The Apprentice," make headlines.

I'm taking his word for it.

“Racially insensitive”. The N word allegation didn’t fly so now it’s been downgraded to ‘racially insensitive’.

next it will be “throwing shade” on minorities (with no specific examples of course)

More proof that Trump’s rising approval with minorities has the Left flailing desperately.

It’s funny when the pansies wants a little “face time”, they make up and spout some meaningless BS which the msm gobbles up like soup kitchen trash.

More predictable than the sunrise.

Three weeks ago it came out that Trump’s approval ratings with blacks and Hispanics was high for a Republican. My response was to predict that this very thing would happen. They need to keep the blacks on the plantation.

So, he would have been a reliable narrator if Trump hadn’t become president, but he’s unreliable now because he did? Done.

So an “unreliable narrator” doesn’t want to make claims about what Trump actually said, except to promise us that whatever was said, it “lacked compassion”.

Got it.

Like Amarosa is a dog....let's move on. Trump is harsh but he's no racist.
