Jake Tapper said Donald Trump looked very sad in court after being found guilty.
“An unbelievable moment in American history,” Tapper said on CNN. “Trump has a frowned expression on his face as the verdict reading is completed. He is not moving. The former president of the United States, now a convicted felon, having been found guilty of 34 felony charges by a jury of his peers in Manhattan, New York. The court officer has asked if either party wants the jury polled. Trump attorney Todd Blanche says, ‘Yes.’ This is when they go around and ask each juror if they agree with what has just been read by the foreperson. The jurors all have straight faces. They are now being polled.”
Biden-Harris 2024 Black Media Director Jasmine Harris didn’t mince words when responding to the allegations against former President Donald Trump, accusing him of using racial slurs during his time hosting The Apprentice.
In a scathing statement emailed to Mediaite, Harris condemned Trump’s reported use of the N-word and his discriminatory behavior toward Black Americans on the set of the reality show. She highlighted the recent revelations from former Apprentice producer Bill Pruitt, who detailed Trump’s racist remarks and actions.
Harris emphasized that Trump’s history of racism, including his past discriminatory practices and promotion of the birther conspiracy theory targeting President Barack Obama, was well-documented. She asserted that Trump’s reported use of racial slurs was consistent with his pattern of behavior and demonstrated his disrespect for the Black community.
Stating that Black voters were well aware of Trump’s character, Harris declared that they had rejected him in the past and would do so again in the upcoming election. She concluded by reaffirming Black voters’ determination to prevent Trump from returning to the White House for a second term.
NEW: Apprentice Employee Claims Trump Used N-Word, Discriminated Against Black Americans on Set
Trump: “I mean, would America buy a n— winning?”
A bombshell report this morning from a former “Apprentice” producer newly released from his NDA recalled Donald Trump’s racism on the set of his show and outlined a damning account of Trump using the N-word to refer to a Black finalist on the show, questioning whether the American people would “buy” a Black American winning a show about prowess in business, and fighting back against his colleagues’ recommendation to hire him.
The account is just the latest example of textbook racism from Donald Trump, who discriminated against Black tenants, suggested the Exonerated Five should face the death penalty, and launched his political career spreading the racist birther conspiracy theory against President Barack Obama.
Biden-Harris 2024 Black Media Director Jasmine Harris released the following statement:
“No one is surprised that Donald Trump, who entered public life by falsely accusing Black men of murder and entered political life spreading lies about the first Black president, reportedly used the N-word to casually denigrate a successful Black man. Anyone notice a pattern? Donald Trump is exactly who Black voters know him to be: a textbook racist who disrespects and attacks the Black community every chance he gets, and the most ignorant man to ever run for president. It’s why Black voters kicked him out of the White House in 2020, and it’s why they’ll make him a loser a second time this November.”
Kwame Jackson, a Black contestant from season 1 of The Apprentice, is expected to address the issue during an appearance on CNN.
