Former chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele — the first African-American to hold the job — said Friday that he believes President Trump is racist.
“At this point, the evidence is incontrovertible, it’s right there,” Steele said when asked if Trump is racist by MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson.
Steele’s comments follow a Washington Post report Thursday, which said that President Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as “s—hole countries” during a meeting with a bipartisan group of senators at the White House.
According to the Post, Trump also suggested the U.S. bring in more immigrants from places like Norway instead.
