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.
Jillette, who was a contestant on the show in 2013, told Vulture in an interview published Tuesday that Trump would "ramble" during tapings of his former reality TV show...
Jillette told Vulture that he “can emotionally tell you things that happened racially, sexually, and that showed stupidity and lack of compassion when I was in the room with Donald Trump and I guarantee you that I will get details wrong.”
“If Donald Trump had not become president, I would tell you all the stories. But the stakes are now high and I am an unreliable narrator,” he said...

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. Yep, only a magician could work that slight of hand.

So we’re back to this line of attack again? It’s like they have a wheel and they spin it to see what they’re going after that day. Just recycle old arguments. It’s not like they have to actually prove anything - they just need to direct attention away from real news and feed the hate machine.

If you want sensitivity, go talk to your pastor, priest, rabbi, imam or social worker.
If you want a chance to earn self-esteem, Trumponomics has created the greatest opportunity to do so in nearly a hlf century.

...says the guy who constantly swears and uses profanity in the name of comedy... I was laughing at the article just thinking of his show named "Bulls#t." It's practically porn, loaded with gutter talk for shock value. What a hypocrite!

Never trust a man who wears nail polish..
Not a good move, as Trump supporters will NO LONGER WATCH HIS SHOW 'FOOL US'. STUPID move, Penn.

"...watch for more and more of these vague stories..."
Mark Dice has wisely advised us of a technology called Adobe Voco recently, which is essentially “Photoshop for audio” and we will undoubtedly hear fake soundbites soon.

Wouldn’t be surprised.
This is all out war for the Left.
They lost an election and their little world is coming down around their ears.

And yet...here you are. Exactly! It's a gutless way of slamming someone while avoiding legal reprisal.

Penn Gillette is a pig who called himself a Libertarian.

People died or suffered terrible consequences when they crossed Hillary. Is that persona going to have to be installed around Trump, even if he is not involved, to stop all these idiots?

It’s impossible for a white person to avoid saying “racially insensitive” things, because the definition of “insensitive” is in the hands of people who are determined to be offensive. Even saying nothing to a person of a politically-favored race or ethnicity can be “insensitive.” Looking at one can be “insensitive.” Not looking at one can be “insensitive.” And on and on.

No way?
It’s more that it’s puny, is it not?
Does DJT say brash or brusk things? Absolutely. Nothing new there.
‘Insensitive ‘, might be literal, or it might be one of their code words. Does any non-activist care?
