Herman Cain: Donald Trump ‘Is Not a Racist’

Herman Cain: 'Donald Trump is not a racist' (Politico)

Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain lent his voice Wednesday to dispel “one of the biggest lies out there about Donald Trump”: that the billionaire businessman is a racist.

“I wanna set the record straight because that’s what I do, as you know, on my radio show nearly every day,” Cain said Wednesday, speaking before Trump was to address supporters at an Atlanta rally. “Why? Because there are a lot of lies out there. Allow me to set the record straight about one of the biggest lies out there about Donald Trump, and I hope the liberals and the liberal media’s listening.”

“Donald Trump is not a racist,” Cain said to thunderous applause from the crowd. “I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. I know what a racist looks like when I see one, and Donald Trump is not a racist.”
