Trump just now: "Look at my African American over here"
— Philip Klein (@philipaklein) June 3, 2016
He said this as he was trying to point out an African American supporter in the crowd… https://t.co/LGBnRuxP2w

(To everyone asking — yes, it's a real Trump quote, to a black rally-goer…it was followed with: "You know what I'm talking about")

Trump may not be crazy about Mexicans, but he sure does love “his” African-American!

Update:
Video, with context: Trump: 'Look at my African-American over here' https://t.co/FmbnWeCuiE
— Philip Klein (@philipaklein) June 3, 2016
From the Washington Examiner:
“We had a case where we had an African-American guy who was a fan of mine. Great fan, great guy. In fact, I wanna find out what’s going on with him,” Trump said, before suddenly pointing to a person in the audience who had caught his attention with a cheer.
“Ah, look at my African-American over here, look at him. Are you the greatest? You know what I’m talking about,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee yelled at the crowd.
So, the context … really doesn’t make what Trump said sound a whole lot better. The man still needs to have a serious talk with his handlers if he wants to fight this perception that he’s a racist jackass.
