Rep. Tim Ryan: Trump Is Racist, ‘There Is No Question About It’
EXCERPT:
JACKSON: "Let me ask you about a couple of quick things before I let you go. LeBron James, somebody from your home state you. Obviously you were talking about him over the weekend in New Orleans. You talked about the president doing race baiting and making racial statements against in his tweets against LeBron. Put it in plain English, do you believe the president is being racist?"
RYAN: "No question about it. I mean, come on, he’s always got to find a black person, he's always got to find a brown person that he's got to prop up and make fun of to try to stimulate a certain portion of constituents that he has, a certain following that he has. And to do it to LeBron James after he just announced a $41 million initiative to start a school in Akron, Ohio, to give kids shoes and glasses and bicycles, to train their parents make sure they get a GED or some training and then to send all these kids who graduate for the school on free scholarship to the University of Akron. I mean, the president of the United States should not be calling anyone dumb."
