A CBS reporter on Wednesday unironically asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt when President Trump had been falsely accused of racism, and she responded with incredulity.
“You’re kidding, right?” Leavitt fired back in disbelief, adding that she will compile a list of “radical Democrats, throughout the years,” falsely calling Trump a racist.
The Democratic Party’s playbook for years has been to call Trump a racist.
Just this week, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer claimed Trump and the GOP were trying to implement “Jim Crow 2.0” by trying to require voter ID and proof of citizenship for registered voters. Days before this, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)claimedthat Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro was arrested by the US military solely because Venezuela is “below the equator.”

And don't forget about other Democrats like Jasmine Crockett, whoconstantlyplays the victim and labels Trump and the GOP as racists.
CBS's Ed O'Keefe pointed to President Trump'scommentsfollowing the death of Reverend Jesse Jackson, where Trump memorialized Jackson as "a good man, with lots of personality, grit, and 'street smarts,'” while noting that he is "falsely and consistently called a Racist by the Scoundrels and Lunatics on the Radical Left" despite working with Jesse Jackson on numerous occasions. O'Keefe then asked, "Where or when does the President believe he's been falsely called racist?"
Clearly holding back her laugh, Leavitt responded, "I'm going to get my team in that room to start going through the internet of radical Democrats throughout the years, Ed, who have accused this president falsely of being a racist. And I'm sure there's many people in this room and on network television across the country who have accused him of the same." She further highlighted the President's upcoming Black History Month Reception this afternoon at the White House, as well as the accomplishments he made for black Americans in his first term, and what he continues to do today.
"He has, absolutely, been falsely called and smeared as a racist, and I'm happy to provide you those receipts, and we gladly will right after this briefing," she added.
O'Keefe:Yesterday, in his statement about Jesse Jackson, the President said, "Despite the fact that I am falsely and consistently called a Racist by the Scoundrels and Lunatics on the Radical Left, Democrats ALL, it was always my pleasure to help Jesse along the way." Where or when does the President believe he's been falsely called racist?
