"I think it’s a low bar for the president of the United States to simply say he’s against racism," the Democrat said on ABC's "This Week." "He’s got to be better than that. He’s got to address the people who are espousing the racist comments and doing racist acts."
Former White House aide Marc Short on Sunday acknowledged the White House handled its response to last year's violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va. poorly.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans said in a new poll that racial tensions have increased in the year since a deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., while respondents were heavily divided along political lines over President Trump's handling of racial issues.
"They continue to deceive this nation with how mentally declined he is, how difficult it is for him to process complex information, how he is not engaged in some of the most important decisions that impacts our country," former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman said. "I was complicit and for that I regret."
“The first time I ever heard Omarosa suggest those awful things about this president are in this book,” White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said, referencing Newman’s upcoming memoir that depicts Trump as a narcissist and a racist. “And I think that Omarosa, unfortunately, has undercut her own credibility.”
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Sunday struggled to name any high-level African-American advisers to President Trump who work in the West Wing.
President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Sunday that special counsel Robert Mueller gave him the deadline of Sept. 1 to end his probe into possible obstruction of justice on the part of the president.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday called for a special counsel to investigate the Department of Justice and FBI and said a DOJ official whose wife worked for Fusion GPS “should not have had any role in investigating the Trump campaign.”
Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) said Sunday that a hotly contested special election in which a Democrat nearly won in a reliably Republican district should serve as a message to the GOP to "stop the chaos."
"What's happened unfortunately -- especially over the last two years, three years with this president, Donald Trump -- is, we‘ve lost track of holding him accountable as it relates to the truth and facts and evidence."
