EXCERPT:

HILL: “Again, this is not new for this president but the bottom line is, he’s saying, ‘I gave her a chance in the White House.’ He hired her specifically to come into the White House. Maybe it’s a silly question at this point, but how long does the President get to continually hide behind that, Jeffrey?”
TOOBIN: “I mean, just to go back to what we discussed earlier, nothing he says makes any difference in how he’s perceived, for better or for worse. He has been at the same point in the polls basically since he took the oath of office, somewhere around 40 percent, and regardless of criminal investigations, the incredible racism of his Twitter feed, let’s not also forget about Omarosa, she’s an African-American woman. Who does the president attack on Twitter constantly? African-Americans. Whether it’s the UCLA basketball team, the NFL football players, whether it’s our colleague Don Lemon, LeBron James, it’s always black people that he’s attacking. Not exclusively, but to a disproportionate extent he’s attacking black people.”
HILL: “And consistently attacking their intelligence.”
TOOBIN: “Yes, calling them dumb which is a classic racist accusation. This is a president who became famous. We sometimes forget the entire basis for Donald Trump’s political career is his racist attack on Barack Obama for not being born in the United States. That’s how he became a public political figure. This is — the tweet today calling Omarosa a dog is just part of that story.”
