Boom! Sarah Sanders: If Trump is so racist, why did NBC give him a TV show?

Sarah Sanders absolutely crushed the media in a pre-White House briefing with the usual media questions about is Trump a racist? Sanders said that if Trump is so racist, why did NBC give him a show on their network for over 10 years? Did NBC simply look the other why for Trump’s “so called” racism, or where they really the racists?

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday quipped that if her boss is a racist, “why did NBC give him a show for a decade?”

The comment came as she pushed back against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D., N.Y.) call for President Donald Trump to prove he is not a racist by supporting a bipartisan compromise on the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immigration program. Trump rescinded the program last year and gave Congress six months to find a legal solution.

CBS host Stephen Colbert asked Schumer Monday about Trump’s reported controversial remarks, which he has denied, during a discussion about immigration reform in the Oval Office last Thursday and whether he thought that Trump is a “racist.”

“Look, his comments over and over and over again can be described as nothing but racist and obnoxious. He says he’s not a racist,” Schumer said. “Actions speak louder than words. If you want to just begin the long road back to proving you’re not racist or bigoted, support the bipartisan compromise three Democrats and three Republicans put on the floor, everyone gave, and get the DREAMers safety here in America.”

A reporter asked Sanders about Schumer’s comments a night earlier, prompting her to call it an “outrageous claim,” according to a clip first reported by Mediaite.

“Frankly, I think if the critics of the president were who he said he was, why did NBC give him a show for a decade on TV? Why did Chuck Schumer and all of his colleagues come and beg Donald Trump for money?” Sanders asked.
