No, he really said this.

“I have so many Black friends that if I were a racist, they wouldn’t be friends, they would know better than anybody, and fast,” Trump said. “They would not be with me for two minutes if they thought I was racist—and I’m not racist!”

      It’s incomplete! It’s from 7 years ago!

        Like the recent claim from a producer that he used the N-word on The Apprentice.

        • Racist comments: Pruitt says that there is a tape of Trump using the n-word to describe Jackson, a Black Goldman Sachs banker, as the judges are discussing who should win the first season of The Apprentice.

        According to Pruitt, Carolyn Kepcher, one of Trump’s employees who advised him on the show, argued that Jackson did a strong job with the season’s final challenge, and he deserved to win.

        “Yeah,” Trump allegedly said, “but, I mean, would America buy a n— winning?”

        Pruitt says that Kepcher’s face reddened, but producers and those in the room simply glossed over the comment and continued with the taping. He adds that such statements were cut from the show and that he does not believe those tapes will ever come to light.

          All of this should be copypasta-ed, memed, tooted, whispered, screamed, broadcast, magnified, disseminated, propogated, and maybe spread around a touch…

          Instead…

              But imagine Jordan Klepper’s Daily Show segments at Trump rallies if the tape ever came out! Worth it.

          How is it no one has access to these tapes?

        TBF, adding the stuff since then wouldn’t fit in Lemmy’s comment length limit.
