Racism charges resurface in light of feud with ex-aide Omarosa Manigault Newman
A year has passed since President Donald Trump was accused of racism after he failed to quickly and unequivocally condemn racially motivated violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia. But recent claims made by and against his former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman have given new life to those accusations.
On Saturday, the one-year anniversary of the Charlottesville violence, Trump tweeted that the riots “resulted in senseless death and division” and called for the nation to come together.
“I condemn all types of racism and acts of violence,” he said in his tweet. “Peace to ALL Americans!”
