President Donald Trump’s niece said she heard her uncle use racial and anti-Semitic insults.
“Oh yes, of course I do,” Mary Trump said in an interview broadcast Thursday night on “The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC.” And I don’t think that should surprise anyone given how virulently racist he is today, “Trump said.
When specifically asked if he had ever heard the President use the N word, Trump replied, “Yes.”
“And the anti-Semitic insults, specifically?” Maddow asked. “Yes,” said Trump.
Trump, who is promoting his best-selling book, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” had said in a previous interview with the Washington Post that racism was rampant in the family as a child. . .
“Growing up, it was normal to hear them use the N word or anti-Semitic expressions,” he said.
A White House spokesman told MSNBC that Trump’s book is “a book of falsehoods, plain and simple. The president does not use those words.”
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told reporters that he has known the president for three and a half years and that “not once did I hear such a thing.”
Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman, who is black, said he had heard a recording of the president using racial filming from NBC’s “The Apprentice,” a revelation that he said “confirmed that he is truly a racist.”
The White House said at the time that the Newman account was invented to promote his revealing book “Deranged: An insider account from the Trump White House.”
“Instead of telling the truth about everything that good President Trump and his administration are doing to make the United States safe and prosperous, this book is riddled with lies and false accusations,” said the then White House press secretary. Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
