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...

This from a man who makes a living saying vulgar, insensitive things. Here is betting we can find old tape of Jillette using the N-word over and over, before it became uncool.

Being insensitive is not a crime.. though the left would like it to be, but only when its their sensibilities that are insulted.

Which means his memory is not precise enough to detail what he said within context to be fair so he’ll leave it at a rough description.

“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...”

Um, so you dont know what you are talking about, and wont risk a presidential lawsuit by knowingly lying.

In other news, Trump approval ratings among Blacks is at nearly 30%. The Dems can’t win if Blacks and Hispanics like Trump.

“Racially Insensitive Remarks”? Has this guy ever seen his and his (silent) partner’s own act? He’s about as blunt and insensitive as it gets, sort of “Lenny Bruce does Magic”.

I wish all conservatives and other non Leftists could together begin using all the “racially insensitive” terms that are usable in the English language in every sentence spoken. just as the Left, including many of their putative intellectuals use the Anglo-Saxon cuss words in their every sentence. A year of that and the whole thing would totally lose its use as the go-to weapon in the sinister verbal arsenal.

"Uh, and I just remembered it. But I can't remember the details." Lifelong Demwit and cardboard cutout lib who has most recently claimed to have become libertarian performs his cameo right on cue. Hey, he needs the publicity. Thanks EveningStar.

Not defending or attacking Trump, but show me someone who has not said something that could or would be deemed racially insensitive at one time or another.

The facts: Trump has helped blacks by creating jobs and reducing minority unemployment.

Do unprove-able allegations about comments matter?

The PC crowd will jump on anything just to get the attention of the news cycles. They’re child like behavior and sensitivity issues should be recorded as the generation that never grew up!
