Actor Ben Stein called President Obama “the most racist president there has ever been” on Sunday.
In an interview with Fox News, Stein argued that Obama and those in the Democratic Party are using race to divide the country heading into Election Day.

“What the White House is trying to do is racialize all politics and they’re especially trying to tell the African American voter that the GOP is against letting them have a chance at a good life in this economy, and that’s just a complete lie,” Stein said.
Stein also called out Hillary Clinton for trying to suggest to black voters that Republicans will make cuts that will hurt African Americans.

“I watch with fascination, with incredible fascination, all the stories about how the Democratic politicians, especially Hillary, are trying to whip up the African American vote and say, ‘Oh, the Republicans have policies against black people in terms of the economy.’ But there are no such policies,” Stein said.

“It’s all a way to racialize voting in this country,” he continued. “This president is the most racist president there has ever been in America. He is purposely trying to use race to divide Americans.”
Stein, who appears on television often as a commentator for political, economic and social issues, was a speechwriter for Republican presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. He is also known for his acting roles, including playing a teacher in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” as well as hosting his own game show, “Win Ben Stein’s Money” which aired on Comedy Central from 1997 to 2003.
