Trump’s Tone-Deaf Campaign Manager: “I’m White and I Was Very Moved by His Comment”
Wow. It’s just amazing that Trump’s people keep making these jaw-droppingly insensitive comments about racial issues. They can’t seem to help themselves.
The latest tone-deaf statement comes from his new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, who appeared today on ABC’s This Week. George Stephanopoulos played her the clip of Donald Trump saying to African Americans, “You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58% of your youth is unemployed, what the hell do you have to lose?”
Stephanopoulos: Many in the African American community saw that as insulting, as they say most African Americans don’t live in poverty, and that Mr. Trump was making those comments in communities that are more than 90% white.
Conway: But those comments are for all Americans. And I live in a white community. I’m white. I was very moved by his comment.
And she says this with a big smile, as if she’s really proud of coming up with this answer. Just unreal.
