Carolyn Levitt responds to reporter asking about Donald Trump’s racism claims
Carolyn Levitt recently clashed with a reporter when she questioned him about recent racism claims made about Donald Trump.
according to fox newsThe reporter asked the White House press secretary, “Yesterday, in his statement about Jesse Jackson, the President said, ‘Despite the fact that I have been called a liar and a persistent racist by scoundrels and lunatics and radical leftist Democrats, it was always a pleasure for me to help Jesse.’ “Where and when does the President believe he has been unfairly called a racist?”
Levitt asked the reporter if he was joking about the racist claims. She went on to say that she could give numerous examples of how Trump has been falsely accused of being a racist by Democrats and added, “I’ll tell you tons of examples. I’m going to start my team in the room who has spent years trawling the Internet of radical Democrats who have falsely accused this president of being racist. And I’m sure there are many people in this room and on network television across the country who have accused him of doing the same thing. In fact. “Me, I know this because I have seen it with my own eyes.”
After Trump held an event for Black History Month on Wednesday, Levitt mentioned it and said that he “has worked for all Americans regardless of race, and he has certainly been unfairly called out and maligned as a racist.”
