WATCH: Trump Walks Away From Reporter When Asked About Being Labeled ‘A Racist’ and ‘A Sexist’
‘I Am the Least Racist Person You’ve Ever Met’
In an interview with a local Columbus, Ohio reporter Donald Trump decided to walk away when she asked him about being called a racist and a sexist. NBC affiliate WCHM reporter Colleen Marshall asked the Republican nominee tough questions about the election rigging he claims is taking place, Ohio U.S. Senator Rob Portman rescinding his endorsement, and his financial plan, but when asked about how he is perceived, Trump turned and walked away.
“19 days out from the election, you’ve been labeled a racist, you’ve been called a sexist, how…†Marshall began her question.Â
“Thank you very much,†Trump responded as he walked away.
“How do you respond to that?†Marshall pushed.
“I am the least racist person you’ve ever met,†Trump shot back.Â
Earlier, Marshall asked Trump where his evidence of election rigging is. Trump responded, “you have a lot of evidence of that, and I will be talking about that in my speech so you will watch.”
Trump defended his financial policies to Marshall by claiming his “plan will work. The experts are not really experts.”
He also said Sen. Portman and others who withdrew their support “are doing themselves a tremendous disservice.”
