Report Copyright Violation | Al Sharpton takes aim at Trump, blasts 'racist' Trump adviser for 'using an N-word referring to my daughter' Good lord, is Sharpton even relevant these days? LOL [ link to finance.yahoo.com] Rev. Al Sharpton told Business Insider that a series of comments that were posted on Facebook by a top adviser to Donald Trump's presidential campaign are "as racial as you can get."
The Facebook updates were published by Sam Nunberg, a communications consultant on Trump's campaign. Nunberg's comments on Facebook were first reported by Business Insider on Friday. They include multiple posts where Nunberg described President Barack Obama as "Kenyan" and "Muslim" and a 2007 update where Nunberg wrote about calling Sharpton's daughter "N---!"
In a phone conversation with Business Insider, Sharpton called Nunberg's comments "racist" and said they raise questions about the "environment" of Trump's campaign.
"You would have to wonder why this guy would be comfortable enough to post this on his Facebook and then have that job and not be concerned ... that someone that does not have views that are racial would even be open to him being around them," Sharpton said. "This appears to me to be very much his persona. This is not a secret."
When Business Insider reached out to Nunberg to ask about the posts, he said he could not recall things he wrote on Facebook so long ago. A Trump campaign spokesperson said Nunberg would be "terminated immediately" if the campaign verified he made the remarks....... |
